I bought a "plug-n-play" relay conversion and installed some
Cibie H4 headlights with 100/55 H4 bubls for at total cost of
less than $100.  After experiencing these headlights at night I
don't think HID headlights are worth the extra $300 to $500.

The relays are sold by some list members and the H4 Ciebie
headlights can be found on Ebay.

Good luck.
