Well those are Hi-Def. Lights (HID), you see them on the higher end luxury cars, like Mercedes and the Honda S2000. When you're driving head on with one of those cars you'll know it! They are pretty expensive, eventhough they are a converiosn kit. A couple guys have them here...there is a thread going on about HID Kits under this same category...it compares prices and gives opinions.

And yeah, I have what Ilan suggested, work just as nicely

If you have the money, the HID lights would be a worthy investment. I wouldn't necessarily buy that kit from Shark Racing though.

Yeah, the cheapo replacement bulbs will not give you anywhere near the illumination of HID's. You will get a bluer color, but as halogen lights aren't designed to work at their best when only the blue light is allowed to show thru, superwhite bulbs will produce less light than their OEM equivalents (unless you go with higher wattage bulbs). $400 is a little pricey for a japanese kit, especially when you can get a Hella kit for about $375. If you want HID's you shouldn't go any higher than 6000K. The higher above 4300k you get the less light output you actually get.
