It depends on what you want. You can get a kit the will burn up in 6 months for $400 or holla at me and I can give you the place where the REAL HID's are sold.

I've got d2s, hte "conversion" type looking at the links you posted Jeff. If you've got the ballasts..I guess you jus tneed to make sure the bulbs you get have the proper connectors. Know who manufactured them?

Okay, here's another question...What kind of HID's do you have, and how much did they cost?
You say 'true HID's' and yours look tight yo...That's exactly what I want. I want mine to look just like yours...
Can you keep the stock Higbeams?

you don't need them, but they are useful (flashing people, etc.)I would think HID high beams are useless...with the warm up time and all.

When buying HIDs, what you want to get is the kit that comes with D2R bulbs.
The D2S bulbs were designed to be used with projector housings ONLY and therefore will not produce nearly the light they do when used with projectors.
I have the Philips 9006k kit with D2S bulbs, and am currently installing projectors in my headlights. The color difference between the converted headlight and the stock headlight is noticably different.
D2R bulbs on the other hand, are intended to be used in reflector type housings, like the Contour. Acura, Lexus, Lincon Marc VIII, and other cars using reflectors all have D2R bulbs... So unless you plan on upgrading your headlights in the future, I strongly recommend that you buy a kit with D2R bulbs.
Here is some more food for thought:

Note that every car equiped with D2S uses Projectors and D2R use reflectors....
