might as well pay the full amount for the whole conversion than just spend almost 100 bucks for some simple piaa hid headlight bulbs

uhhh...dude piaa HID "look" bulbs will only run you about 40 bucks. A full HID conversion will cost you around 500 bones man. And those bulbs are only an "HID look." All you care about is "looks" anyway, and there's no DIY to fake an HID look.

if you get the relays they'll pretty much go through bulbs every 2 months because all they do is boost wattage beyond normal specs.
