Considering he is trying to avoid ebay stuff, I don't see why you are being such a d-bag.

OP: I am a HID noob, but you can get H4 housings from Hella that are DOT legal here.

I put the Hella housings in my car and they work great. I also sell them if you're interested. The housings and the hid kits.

Not my cup of tea. Why do you want HIDs? Headlights just not bright enough?

firstly i wanted more visibility at night, a wider and longer light output. So the end result that i wanted was a more of a controlled light not necessarily brighter, there's a big difference. plus the light cut off is amazing with these projectors!

i got the housings of of ebay, something cheap. i wouldnt recommend buying them. i just got them because they were cheap and i was planning to cut into them for my retrofit Projectors.

the hella housing will cost you around 70 bucks each, i think? they might be more.
