2003 HIDs gone, what do I replace them with?

2003 Maxima HIDs were stolen and I am looking for a replacement. What do I need to buy to replace them with something else that's not going to be stolen? Also, please post a link or ballpark price. Insurance company will replace them (minus the $500 d.) but I want to able to sleep at night knowing nothing is going to happen to the car.

Prob the only advice you are going to get is the get yourself a pair of Nissan's AE headlights and call it a day. Most HID owners have opted for them. Also, you really got to pay that insurance ded? I think this is the first I hear of anyone paying that.

Get the AE headlights and an aftermarket HID kit. I looked for a place that sold the housings but I didn't find anything. Either way It'll be cheaper and you can probably pocket the difference to make up for most if not all of the deductable.
