Default retrofit hid in MDX

does anybody have a picture of MDX with HID? i just got a brand new mdx yesterday, and

i want to put HID into MDX. I did some search and i concluded that i am better off doing

retrofit. So i am just curious if anybody has done retrofit to MDX. thanks.

theres a reason MDX's dont come w/ HID is that it sits too high above regular cars.
if they sat at the same level as the highlander or Rx300, then HID's would be standard equipment.
i wouldnt mess with $40k vehicle lights by taking a chance to see if they will work or not.
id go with HID's in the foglights tho.

thats why cadillac can ask for over $50k for one.
just adds to the bling but isnt that an option and not standard?

stick, you're wrong.
Do you understand that headlight cutoff have height adjustments?
With a tall car, the headlight must be adjusted to aim lower.
