I don't think its possible to insert a HID bulb into the IPF headlight. If it were possible it would not be desirable. The IPF headlight is a standard headlight with a round projection. HID lights have cut off designs to reduce the blinding effect of other drivers. In order to add HID's to east bears you would need to convert the IPF headlights to 90mm Hellas and then use a D2s or H-11 HID bulbs.

Sorry to tell you this but RE uses the exact same IPF headlights that the east bear kit uses. The new RE's use a slightly different set of lights but they cost quite a bit more.
If you want sleek lights and HID's your best bet out of the box is the Rotary Extreme kit with HID's. The Rotary Extreme kit is visually the same as the RE kit but slightly different.
Good Luck - No cheap way to go HID

Bricke: an RE HID conversion can be done affordably. Read the post on my conversion plan;

I just picked up a set of gen3 ballasts and d2s bulbs for 300 shipped. That brings my total cost for conversion to (near) RE HID setup to ~800.

the rotary extreme hids are also a conversion of the halogen housings. so you got the same setup. neither one is optimal because hella does make a true hid 90mm module and they are different than the halogen version.
to reply to a couple comments in your other post, it is required by law to have the low beams outside the high beams on 4 lamp setups. also setting the lamps farther back makes for less foreground lighting so you would want your low beams as far forward as possible.

Rockshox; interesting, I thought the RE HID conversion used the real hella HID housings, not a conversion.
I didn't know that about the low beams having to be on the outside, wonder why that is. As for foreground lighting, I understand that recessing the lights will mean less lighting directly in front of the car, I guess it's a matter of how much foreground lighting is lost due to that configuration.
Thanks!
