Low beams are standard 55w H1 bulb? Is there a better HID kit that I can use to replace this? The housing is very specific and the bulb is held with a latch mechanism which also serves as a ground. If you put the bulb in the housing and don't fasten the latch over it, it won't light up. I'm assuming the aftermarket kits like Morimoto run the ground a different way? I was Looking at the Morimoto H1 XB HID kit, 55w, 6500k, HD relay but would it even make a difference with these crappy housings?
H1 HID bulbs will have both wires to the bulb so you'll not have any ground issues.
I had those housings with HID in my old 98, and they weren't bad. I would NOT run 55W HID in them though, you'll burn stuff up. 35W is the highest I'd go.

I've been running 55 W HID bulbs in those housing for 3 years now. No problem.....

I've had the Morimoto kits and they're good. But they still eventually fail... I've been buying Xentec kits. Much cheaper and I can replace them four or five times, if they fail, for the price of ONE Morimoto kit.
Right now, I'm running a Xentec H1 hid kit in 6K color and they look great in those Spyder headlights.
