Well you wouldn't need the headlights in the link you posted unless you really want that look instead of the stock lights.

The only big thing you would need to buy is the projectors which you can find here.
Theretrofitsource.com
That is the link to the Morimoto mini H1 projectors, which should work fine for your application.

Here is a link to a how-to for the MH1. I'm not sure how deep the stock headlights are, but it might not be quite so simple if it won't fit.

You can check out the retrofits section on hidplanet to see how the pros do theirs, and go from there. Feel free to ask any questions you might (probably) have.

Yes, do not run HID's without the proper projector. 2 people here learnt that the hard way. One guy in a cavalier was behind my old boss and his headlights were blinding. So my old dutch boss slammed on his brakes, got out of his truck, and smashed the guys lights with a hammer. The other guy same thing with with a civic. Some people have zero tolerance for that crap.

But some HID kits use a (9005) high beam HID in place of the (9006) low beam, because it's focused in a projector I assume. I know mine use a 9005 in the low beam.

Default HID Headlight Conversion.

I just converted my sealed beam headlights to Conposite Headlight housings from ANZO USA Anzo USA - Performance Lighting and then I replaced those Halide Bulbs with HID Xenon Balasts and Bulbs from HID Lights HID Kits Xenon Headlights Kit HID Headlight Kits HID Conversion Light HID Xenon Headlight conversion Kits.

It made a huge difference. The only problem I am having now is that my current setup is either dim bulbs or high beam bulbs. Xenon Bulbs have a slow on time of maybe 15 or 20 seconds before they reach full brightness.

I want to know if anyone knows of a way to have all bulbs lit up when the switch is High Beams and then only the dim bulbs lit when the high beams are switched off. If anyone could help me with this I greatly apprieciate the help.

If you do a search on here for 'high 4 mod' you should be able to find your answer (if I understand the question right).
