Default HID's?

So I noticed today that one of my low beam bulb is out. It is just the stock color. I know they make HID kits, but I want to hear from you all if it is a good idea. And if so, where is the best place to get them. I live in VA and the laws are somewhat strict so I don't want to get a ticket for having bulbs I'm not supposed to. I don't have the stock headlights. These are the ones I have http://www.carid.com/2000-chevy-cama...ts-315089.html

When I bought the car, it had aftermarket high beams that are white in color. How do I tell what wattage it is projecting? I tried doing a search guys I just couldn't find what I was looking for... Thanks in advance..

Since those are projectors, you can get away with putting HID in them. Those appear to be the "Sonar" projectors which use an H1 bulb for the low beam. Just get a H1 HID kit.

Its not the optimal solution but it will work alright. Much better than HID in the stock housings anyway.
