HID brights?

I know this has prolly been posted before but..where can I get some HIDs for my brights? How much would this conversion be? I think it's annoying to have awesome lows..then switch on your brights and its a crappy light..thanks

As far as I know, the least expensive car to offer bi-xenon lighting is the Saab 9-3. Starts at under 30k.

If its just the color of your hi beams that you dont like I suggest just getting some different color hi beam bulbs.

anything made by eaglite are pieces of crap. my friend had the very lights you refer to and the color was very blue, very little light emitted, and it blinded me when i drove past him. all in all, a useless bulb for the road.

the silverstars are more expensive, but MUCH better. i would also recommend philips vision plus; not "hid look" but the brightest halogen i've seen. the cheapest i've seen silverstars anywhere is at www.powerbulbs.com which is a uk store. i had a very good experience with them when buying my visionplus bulbs. free shipping, even to the US.
