headlight question

Okay so I don't care for the way the stock headlights look. Want to modify them but no one will return my pm's so....money is not the issue it's finding someone who'll do them for me.
I saw the spyder style ones for sale and I actually like them but they are for halogen wired cars only. Does anyone know if I can effectively gut the hid's out of my factory ones and replace the halogen setup in the spyder style headlight?
Or better yet does anyone know how to and is willing to modify my factory ones with halos, painting the insides, led's etc?
I'm in south central PA and willing to travel to have them done.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Speaking of lights, do the stock HID's have a halogen high beam or a HID high beam? Just wondering since I changed my fogs to 5K HID and my high beams look kind of halogeny compared to low beam and fogs.

High beams are halogen.

Yeah, you can just get an HID conversion kit for them but honestly why would you? Unless you live/travel on dark roads or something I don't know many who use their highs often except to flash the slow driver in front of them. In which case HID's are not the best for that as the repeated on/off cycle can cause premature failure.

If you really want to go all out you can have Ghozt or any of the others retro fit your high beams with projectors and convert them to HIDs

So most people leave highs to halogen? Good to know. Don't know about the halo, paint, etc. mod. Especially after my grille extravaganza which most people seem to hate ;-(

Some people convert the high beam to a mini h1 projector just for looks, others just leave it to halogen or if you don't need your high beams then convert it to LED (which could cause safety issues if you ever DID need your high beams). The process of getting your headlights done is that you can either send your headlights or just buy an extra set and get it shipped to the person that is doing them.

Process is simple.
I have sets of oem headlight I use for my work. You tell me what u want done to your light, setup payment plan and when all parts been shipped to me, i start your build on my spare and when job is complete, u ship your light to me for the swap housings.
You can send me a private pm to talk more bout the process

What about for the high beams? Without projectors.

Sí señor.

Yes but I don't suggest it. If you want brighter high beams there are better options.

Either modify 9011 HIR bulbs to fit or make your low beam projectors bi-xenon.
