Check out the Lighting FAQ:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearance-detailing/710357-lighting-faq.html
Basically your options are conversion housings or projectors. You can buy conversion housings or make your own. Projectors would be a custom install. In both options, you can install HID, but I would suggest using projectors and avoid reflector housings (you'll usually get a bad beam pattern and glare using a reflector housing).
There have been some recent threads on this too. A search will yield plenty.

I went with 10000K HIDs for the lowbeams and "foglights".
I've never had oncoming drivers flash me with their lights. I lowered my beam pattern just a bit to avoid most problems.
