You need a set of projectors, a set of headlights, some custom mounting, and an HID kit with bulbs to match your projectors. The HID kit will need to be custom wired with relays, to power off your 9006 plug. SEARCH on here, this has been discussed 1000000000 times. G'Luck, and I'll be posting a diy when I'm done

here's what i used in my setup.
-tsx projectors
-Ballasts with build in ignitor
-headlights on my car
-hid bulbs
-wiring harness
-custom mounting and adjustment (this is the hardest part), dremel set, misc parts, bolts and screws, silicone gel, jb weld... etc..

I got mine finished over a weekend so i could drive my car again on the following monday. If you have to drive your car everyday, then get a set of new headlights.. ($500!!!)

Don't get HID kits if you want to do a retro. .I got mine from a seller on hidplanet.com for $180 i think, they have matched lens and bowl. Personally, i think the hardest part is to make them fit into the headlights. Just make sure the rotational adjustment is set before you secure them onto the reflector bowls and make sure you have enough clearance inside the reflector to use the orginal vertical and horizontal adjustments to adjust them.
