Help with Headlights

I know very little about cars, I'm trying to learn more, but I have one question. What do I need to buy or acquire to get my headlights that Xenon or Halogen or whatever you guys call it. They're blue and they're extremely bright. What do I need to do to get my lights like that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

your headlights would need to retro fitted with a HID lighting unit.
The HID retrofit will cost about $300 and up just for the unit.
Contact the member: Impulse
He sells and retrofits hid units

Or just get a brighter bulb set.
Piaa makes great bulbs, but a good set is $90 to $100

HIDs?

You'll need to retrofit your existing headlights with HID Ballast, bulbs, and wiring. Check out the Lighting forum.

thanks man, I'll take a look, he did say he can get an aftermarket kit for 325.00, I'm not sure where the $800.00 price tag came from.

$800 price tag comes from a retrofit - where you take projectors from another car, along with the OEM HIDs from a car that has HIDs, and then putting them into your car. It comes at a very high price, but better reliability and lower "down-the-road" cost.
