The problem with halogen c though is that it doesn't have projectors, so it won't focus the beam too correctly from a hid.
You also have to find place to mount ballasts.
Do you see ok with the halogens? If so, you might just want to keep them. If you just want a brighter halogen you could look on ebay for philips h7 x-treme power. They do not look like hid but they are brighter, made in Germany, and legal.

I have heard good things about the DDM kit. You need the error canceler, otherwise your display will show a light out error.
If your leasing your car, I wouldn't suggest doing it as you need to drill holes to mount the kits and ballast.
If your just looking for the look. I have 8500k GP thunders in the headlights and 7500k in the fogs. I think they look great. Looks 100% OEM, but the brightness/output isn't as good as xenons.
The way I can compare them to the stock Halogens is that where you can clearly see where the halogens stop their output, the GP thunders fade to black, and isn't as fine a line. But the output is acceptable, more along the lines of a honda light output...

There's a DIY for installing HIDs without drilling 
check out the DIY section of the forum and you'll find it. I'm actually going to attempt this diy after I get the DDM KIT. I'm going with 5000k. I want white no blue for me ! Atleast not in the lights lol

6000k is great. A friend of mine has it. Consider it a very cool white with hint of blue (once they warm up)
I have a set in my trunk just can't find the time to set it up
I have th gp thunders and its nothing special (output-wise)
