HID bi-xenon headlights

I apologize if this thread has already been created but I was unable to find it. I would like to change out my basic headlights system and install a HID bi-xenon system like the 07's currently have. Where can I purchase the headlights, other than the dealer, and are there instructions on how to install them on the forum? Further, I'm sure this mod has already been done by a number of members, how do you like this mod?

I was looking at McCullogh HID kits, but im uncertain as to which kit to get. I know it has to be a 9006, with minor fabrication, but I don't know where to purchase a simple plug and play kit.

Can you send me the thread that shows how to remove the bumper? I'm a little nervous about that'. Also, where did you put the box that comes with the plug and play system

Non HID to HID

whats the big difference between bi - xenon and single beam? Does one or do they both eliminate the high beams? Final question if you're going from Non - HID to HID, is it true you have to replace the housing (some parts guy at Nissan said I would)? Thanks guys!

The housing is fine, the tech probably meant you would have to change the ballast which would/should come with the HID kit. Single beam keeps your stock high beam halogen whereas bi-xenon has the HID low beam and high beam both xenon.
