the housing is sealed you have to get housings that accept hid's then all you have to do is remove the plastic surround on the headlight and the four screws that hold the top cover and then remove the headlight itself

That said don't be one of those people that just throws in a bulb and calls it quits. Do a proper conversion so you have proper cutoff and don't blind people.

Cut your existing housing, glue a HID projector to the back of it, add the appropriate HID balast and bulb.

I would ove to see a kit with the following:
2xprojectors encased in a original looking plastic housing
low rise rods

Thats it. I like the way the low rise looks on the FD, but the FC needs those projectors to make it look good imo.
