...for 2004 anyway, because mine didn't come with them. I ended up getting a cheapy H7 conversion kit on eBay. So you get Xenon bulbs that fit into the halogen H7 socket, and then you have to run some extra wires through the plastic bulb cover to a ballast. It was a pretty easy install, they look awesome, and I haven't had any problems with them! For $60 I knew I was taking a crap shoot so I wasn't going to be disappointed if they didn't work. Technically, they're illegal because HID lights need to be in projector-style housings and have a self-leveling system but I don't get many complaints from oncoming drivers.
