can't tell you where to get it because I got mine at a local parts shop...
but holy hell its amazing... definitely worth it...
and as I recall the lights your looking for are the ones equivalent to 6054 as you prolly know... The HID number I THINK is something thousand and seven, like 8007 or 5007 or something... whatever the thousand for HID's is LoL...

I got mine on eBay some time ago. Here is a link to my install. I chose the 6000K H4 HID kit.

Why?
Cause most of them do not come with the auto-leveling mechanism.
Even with this law, there's a bunch of cars running with them over here.
When they hit a bump or uneven pavement, these cars will blind you.
The stock OEM auto-leveling mechanism is there to prevent this kinda problems.
So there is a logic to banning them...

Dude, don't waste $600 on one of these kits. Try the a set of 6500k normal bulbs/diamond enclosure kit. That should run you like $40.00 shipped. You will probably be very happy with that.

Sorry to bring this back from the dead. How do aftermarket HID kits deal with high beams? Is there a second housing that's aimed higher? Actually I have Sylvania cool blues in my car and love them. I have also had them in every other cat that I've owned since they came out. These lights seem to work very well for me. I have them aimed just slightly higher than normal.

Most HIDs are used strictly low beams, unless they are bi-xenon, which will do high beams as well via a very simple shutter door type mechanism.
Other mfgs. will put 2 sets of HIDs in per side, as I believe cars like the EVO 8 have.
Retro-fits blow because they use the stock fluted lens. You can't see sh$&(t and neither can anyone driving towards you. The best thing to do is put in an entire projector assembly and utilize a clear lexan projector shield.

[QUOTE=Slammedblk7]heres mine the 12k kit, i just took a new pic of it with my new camera...i probably need to adjust these more..ive spent like an hour tryin to set them.QUOTE]
The adjusters are easy to get to, but since these cars are pretty old they can be a pain to work with. Try spraying a penetrating fluid on them like nuts-off or liquid wrench, even WD-40 and letting it sit for a day. Then line the car up with a new car that needs no adjustment and sit in front of a wall on a fairly flat surface until you can match the aim of the new car.
