1) Those are $20 HID kits they're selling for $70+.

2) You can't just put HID bulbs into your headlights. A proper HID retrofit requires projectors to properly focus and aim the light beam. Putting HID bulbs into a halogen reflector is illegal at most, dangerous and obnoxious at the least.

3) LED headlight bulbs are not very bright. I think that you meant that your son had halogen and replaced them with LED because there is no way that LED is brighter than (or even close to) HID. Either that, or he had HID bulbs crammed into a halogen reflector with no projector.

None of the "kits" in your link are suitable for your car. Your options for better light output up front are either a proper HID projector retrofit or Litronics.
