Please dont, HIDs in standard glass will blind other road users because the light will be scattered.

Ebay has some HID kits but make sure they arn't from Hong Kong or too cheap.

Invest in some Hella Quads with projector lens

20 quid + 20 quid postage, from Hong Kong, had them for months, never had any problems with them.

Cheers guys

Best bet is to try ebay for the Quads and for the HID kit

Although the Quads don't go cheap!

As per mentioned, don't use HIDs unless you're investing in projector headlights, the Hella Twins (NOT QUADS) have projector lenses on the outer, as do many angel eye headlights.

Let's be honest though not many people bother with projector headlights

The amount of cars that drive around town on a Friday night with HID's in standard headlamps is silly

At the end of the day it's a cheap and easy mod which helps you see better at night and also makes your car look newer than it is, because the bright light given out by HID's looks more fresh than the standard yellow halogen bulbs :)
