I ran across an interesting article about converting halogen headlights to HID headlights. I was concidering doing just that until reading this. The article was found while researching the subject on Wikipedia. Here's the link
http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech ... sions.html
The browser brings up a bunch of other stuff but the one with Daniel Stern's name on it is the one that you want to read. :2cents:

Me too but that article pretty much changed my mind. I did find some decent bulbs at summit racing though, hella makes them. I like them better than the ultra silver stars I had. Not sure of the part no. though. They're Zenon 65/55 watt, like stock but brighter.

Interested in this as well. Will you be posting a "HOW TO:" with pics and parts?
That'd be awesome.

I was waiting for some aftermarket manufacturer to come out with complete ready-made projector headlights W/ Halo/Angel eyes for the KK. I mean it's been almost 5yrs since the redesign of the Liberty came out.
