Headlight upgrades/conversion
I've been tryin to find LED conversion kits for the low and high beam headlights as well as the fog lights. Obviously there are quite a bit of the out there but didn't know if there were any recommendations. I am not so concerned with price as this is an important piece of the car so wanna make sure they'll last.
Thanks in advance!

If you're not concerned with price, I recommend an HID projector retrofit like so:

I know this is over a month late, but no, there are not any HID replacement options for the high beam. HID's are meant to be steady use, and high beams are meant to be turned on and off a lot. While some people have put HID's in high beams, this is a bad idea and a costly mistake. Plus, high beams are "uncontrolled": light--the reflector shoots them straight out, but at the same time, there's nothing else limiting where the beam can go. HID's will dazzle drivers from miles off (further than required to shut them off) if used in the high beam, UNLESS IMPLEMENTED PROPERLY (i.e. the so-called "bi-xenon" that opens a shutter).
To echo what Hades said - when I still had my Acura, I retrofitted a Morimoto kit for the lowbeams. They were HIDs, but came with a little electromagnetically-activated shutter to move the cutoff plate away from the bulb. That electromagnet was tied into the "high beam" switch, so I could flap my highs on and off as I pleased without causing damage to the actual HID. Highly recommend that system.
