I checked and I do have factory HIDs. How difficult is it to convert the aftermarket projector assembly to HID using a kit? Are there special precautions necessary when working with the high voltage system.
I DO have headlight washers.
Also I read or heard somewhere that the bumper does not to be removed on the 99 for the headlight swap. Opinions?

They say that it is wise to un-hook the cars battery when working with the hid lights.
If you do a quick search of the forum you will find something about someone who RetroFit factory xenon to aftermarket projectors. It was in a thread about led taillights not too long ago. I forget who the member is though.

I'm fixing to sell my Halo projectors non CCFL for $200. They're about 1 1/2 old. Let me know if you're interested.
FYI- I run 6000K HID's both in my headlights and fogs. No blue tint just straight white. Looks clean.
