I am running a retro-solutions 55w 6K HID kit. Kit comes with everything and has high and low beam. Pretty good pattern through my '04 lenses. The kit is a little more expensive than most of the stuff on ebay but in this case, I think you get what you pay for.

Do they heat up your lenses? My buddy has a 350 Z w/stock hid's and he said his headlamps will damn near burn your hand if you touch them. How much was you kit?

Here is a link to their site: custom HID conversions, HID kits, LED, CCFL specialists - retrosolutions I think the kit was around $180. It depends on the type of stock bulb you have. I haven't noticed any issues of discoloration on my lenses.

is there any difference between your '04 lenses and my '02 lenses?

I have HID's in my 03'...I put 5K in mine..they do not heat up the lens...I bought my plug and play kit from ultra bright lights...they ship them out very fast..and I actually jus bought another set for my mustang too..I love them..the light output is great..if you look I think the bulb is usually 2500-3000 hours....at least on the kits I have seen..I have the bi-xenon..that means they have a magnetic mech. that pulls them bulb in to refocus the beam higher like highs...
