HID Conversion Availability/Cost/Difficulty?

In the three weeks or so between selling my old car and getting my 96 GLE I was driving my mom's car, which had HID lights. I love those things. I always thought they looked pretty good when I'd see a car with them, but I never realized how much brighter they actually made things look. Anyway, I'm really interested in getting that kind of light output on the Maxima and I want to do a full conversion in the next month or two. So a few questions...

1) What's a good, moderately cheap ($20-50 range) alternative to HIDs that'll provide better visibility than stock? These headlights seem awful dim to me, so I'm planning on replacing them today or tommorow anyway.

2) Is a full HID conversion kit available for 4th gen Maximas?

3) If there is one, how expensive is it/where can I get it? I'm looking to spend less than $500, if possible.

4) And, of course, how hard is it going to be to install?

Thanks!

Great! Thanks a lot.

Oh... has anyone actually done the conversion? How'd it work out?

A ton of people here have gotten our Hanabi HID conversion kit from Freddie and most are extremely pleased. Do a search, if you want. Just make sure to aim them properly to avoid blinding oncoming drivers. I'm sure you will like them...
