if you get an H1 HID kit, you're gonna have to take a dremel to the opening to the projector housing to fit the bulb.. Just giving you a heads up.. and the cutoff line is gonna look like **** unless you physically modify the projector housing. For mine, I created a spacer that pulled the projector lens "forward" by about a quarter inch. And the beam pattern is gonna be a lot narrower than stock.
Oh, and the TYC harness is wired backwards. The black wires are the 12V+,the blue wire is the low beam ground, red is the high beam ground
I'd say 99% of people are gonna recommend an HID retrofit.

valeo d2s hid projectors will fit in there no problem. they can squeeze over the original mounting screws, but i made my own adjustable mount with brackets. they are around $100 a pair on ebay.
plenty of space inside
cutoffs
