Changing my projector to HID's

Hey guys I have an 2009 TSX basic model. I'm pretty sure it's halogen projectors. So do I just buy a ballast and install a H1 bulb on?

I don't think the Canadian basic model comes with HID's. The basic model also has cloth seats.

I get all my HID needs from theretrofitsource.com

a bit pricey, but has QUALITY products.
if H1 is the type of bulb your car uses, then I would just buy an H1 HID kit from theretrofitsource.com
it will include a relay wire and everything that you need
I bought my kit for $150 but it might be a little extra to canada.

no , you will get that horrible return wire shadow which you will hate as you will see if on ground.

Best bet if get tsx hid projectors and swap over , its bolt on mod.
