HIDs in stock housings are never a good idea.

For an HID kit I'd go with DDM tuning. About the same price but they at least have good reviews.

There's a reason it is illegal to use HID bulbs in a stock housing.

Had no idea. Aside from slapping some fog lights on my Jeep, I've never been into lighting upgrades. What's the reason?
