I would like to buy these headlights and convert to HID, but I have a couple questions:
1) I understand that for halogen it is plug and play, but what is involved converting to HID? Where does the ballast go (inside the pod)? How do you rewire (inside the pod or do you need to rewire at the "plug" where the pod slides into)? Do you have pictures?
2) I don't have DRL, can I leave the parking lights on and get the same effect?

Thanks
