I made my own conversion housings using a write-up thats been floating around. I made some changes though. Read within:

BTW, due to the tint, the Silvania SilverStar bulb is whiter but not brighter than the regular Sylvania halogen bulbs....its actually slightly dimmer (I've seen the specs on their website). This applies to all tinted bulbs. Also, as the K temperature increases past 4100~K, the light output decreases. Therefore a 8000k bulb is dimmer than a 4100k bulb (factory HID systems are in the 4000K - 5000K range). The K number is the color temperature. If you want brighter halogen bulbs, here are some examples (http://www.danielsternlighting.com/ can give more info and examples): GE NightHawk, Sylvania XtraVision, Phillips VisionPlus. Each of those is advertised to have 30%-50% greater lumens output. I say "advertised" because there is some leaway in the rules and advertisements typically abuse that leeway (example, compare the competitor's low point to your high point). But they are still brighter.
