There are, but they are Halogen Reflector housings. HID should not be put into Halogen Reflector housings. You'll end up with glare resulting in piratically a high beam pattern.

You can get the Halogen Housings with higher wattage Halogen bulbs and an upgraded harness with relays. There are various ones around with various quality. Just avoid the "projector" ones. They are fake. They just stuck a crappy knock-off lens in front of the bulb and called it a projector. It's definitely not a projector and the output is crap.

Rally Lights has a set of Hella housings, but their listed prices are inaccurate. You'll have to call them. You can probably find them or similar ones on eBay and Amazon.

Susquehanna Motorsports - AKA - Rally Lights also sells on Amazon. The housings in question are listed from $35ea with no bulbs - to - $126ea with higher wattage bulbs and adapter cable (this sounds a bit expensive though, call to find out what is actually in that kit -- maybe its two housings and bulbs, the description is not clear).

I searched eBay for "H4666" and found some options, but they looked of questionable quality. They were cheaper, but they didn't look right, plus they came with blue bulbs which are crap.
