I agree, the headlights on the 2000 to 2002 model CL are terrible. I suppose the 2003 and later models must be better. Too bad one cannot update the earlier models, without paying BIG dollars...Never heard of a after market hid kit....

I've never used their conversion kits before, but the guy at Autozone recommended DDM Tuning. He said he converted his car and never had any issues. I bought my replacement lamps from them a few weeks ago. Great price at $25/pair vs $99 each at Autozone.

There is also AZN Optics who I believe is a sponsor here.
