    yeah well if its just H1's then you would:
    buy a H1 hid kit..and choose the colour temp im running 6000k which i think is perfect.
    the kit should come with instructions and its pretty much plug and play
    since the globe is H1 then i should fit into your headlight as usual.
    its just the cables....the globe runs to the ballast and from that to your car..

    for me the most difficult job was hiding the ballast because i wanted every thing to look as stock as possible...

    hope that helps.

    oh and once you gone hid...when you drive a car with out hids...you always think to yourself if your head lights are on or not. hahaha

    I've been doing some research and I will need a projector or retrofit on the BB6 as the stock headlight housing produces way too much glare...

    So I think HID's are out of the question, cause #1 I don't think I'll be able to do a retrofit and #2 projector housings cost $300+ dollars...

    a lot of non-projector headlights use HIDs, but they just need to lower the beam projection...about 2-3 (maybe) degrees lower than when u're using normal halogen...

    MMMMMMMMM

    ok 1st as no one has bothered to mention !!!
    if you want brighter light you need your wiring to be up to the job
    (no factory wiring is very good ie:- the wires are to small )

    the best place to start is to improve your earth and its placement
    next step would be to convert your positive to relay switched from the battery
    for both hi & low
    if this seems to hard its not very easy
    ive had better lights with stock bulbs than others starting with this method first as it works

    but if you do this and then go to a hi quality globe ..the result will be a very hi improvment to your h/lights

    I'll defiantly look into this...

    I wonder what the catch is with these...

    Yeah without a retrofit HID's are pretty much a hazard to all oncoming traffic (In the BB6 anyway)

    I think I'll give the Narva +50's a go...

    Edit: From reading reviews ppl have said the Phillips are allot better than the Narva +50's and they last longer too...

    You should be careful, as there have been cases where the HID bulb damages the chrome on the head lights, as in it burns it.
