Headlight Retrofit

Has anyone attempted to do a HID projector retrofit on our headlights?

I am thinking about retrofitting a set of these.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/221322601913?_trksid=m570.p2050601.l4763&_trkparms=ga1m%3DT8%26ga2m%3DT0%26ga3m%3DT0%26ga4m%3DT15.

I know they are bi-xenon. My car already has HID low beam but not high, I think. I rarely use my high beams so that is why I am not sure. I would be doing the high beams as well as the lows. I am also going to check local laws as well just to be safe.

Mine already have HID's so never tried to fit them with a new system. I did contact a few companies about retrofitting them with new shrouds, at which they told me it would not work, so I gave up.

There are two types of HID bulb assemblies available to replace Halogen bulbs. There is a type for housings that are a plane flat glass and one that is made for fluted glass. When I bought inserts to upgrade the lights on my Jeep, I got 100w halogen bulbs. I now have 35w HID lamps to replace these bulbs. One of these retrofit resellers has a website that explains the difference between these HID lamp assemblies.
