I really like the look of the HID headlight on the road. The Quality of the light is amazing.
Has Any one done a conversion yet?

What exactly are you talking about? Just adding balasts and bulbs, or actually retrofitting a different housing/projector?

Quite a few people have done both

Retrofitting a different housing and projector is going to be the best bet for HIDs. The OEM housings are glass and metal, so that would work well for heat, but the reflector and lense is DOT rated, not E-code, so it would be a waste of money, if you don't have a reflector and lense with an e-code rating.
