Default I did and several bulbs were replaced...

Only to burn out again shortly.

And no, there were no problems with the cars' electronics. Once I put in plain halogens the burn outs stopped.

Default Okay, so if I wanna go with HID's what all would I need..??

1. Do I need all new housing like the whole unit or just the HID bulbs and ballasts?

2. Where can I find them for reasonable price?

Thanks

You don't need an all new housing.... you can just buy an aftermarket HID kit

You mean based on Kelvin scale it'll be too blue? maybe 6000K then?

Default Yeah .... iirc the factory HIDs are 4300k, but I could be wrong

hopefully someone on here knows for sure. I'm not saying 4300k is necessarily the best though, but 9500 seems a bit much
