Factory HID Headlamp Housings

I have a 2011 Nissan Maxima SV with all the options it came with at the time. I have factory HID but want to get a different, aka cooler, headlamp housing but everything I find is for Halogen. The few HID housings I have found are 5 times the price of Halogen ones and look almost factory.

So my questions are, is there a reasonable or similar priced, cool headlamp housing out there for HID? If not is converting a Halogen housing to factory HID ok to do, easy to do, or just not a good idea at all?

If you have any websites, numbers, or anything please let me know. Any help is appreciated.

Sorry, but do you want a cooler (read not as warm) light output (e.g. 5000K or 6000K) or do you want a "cool looking" housing? If you have HID and want a less yellow and more white or even blue, just get the D2S bulb with the color output you want. No need to get a new housing just to change the color from warm to light to bright to blue.....
