I know there are guys on this board who have done so. You might want to do a quick search for HID on 3rd Gens as well. Here's a couple threads on it that I found when searching:

Post some before and after pics when your finished. Good luck!

thanks for the search rock slides, but ive seen that in the past and the bi-xenon not a good idea for me due to time and patience. however having the high-beam is pretty critical sometime and ill just have to live w/ a low-beam.
hey ebelen1,
was his setup similar to mine or what?
ill be sure to give some details abotu it w/ pics.

Yea I have tried the casper shields with the D2R and D2S bulbs and still wasn't happy with light pattern, it still emits some glare. The setup I have now uses E55 Bi-Xenon projectors and Hella Ballast which gives me a clean wide spread pattern with no glare and still have functioning high beams. I can provide some pics of it later if you want.

I've heard guys say the best way to go HID retrofit was w/ Bi-Xenon.
Iceman601, I'd like to see some pics when you get a chance. Maybe some low and high beam shots as well to see the light spread.
I've thought about doing the conversion, but always found another mod to do instead.
