Default HID Lights for 97 CX Hatch

Are there any companies out there that make complete HID headlights for a 97 hatch? I don't want to go with a kit that replaces the bulbs and adds the needed balasts. I'm looking for a complete headlight. Anyone know of any?

I'll probably send a set off to Custom HIDs to have em retrofitted. Anyone know of an online supplier of the OEM headlights? Local honda stealership is asking $210 dollars per side.

If you want clear headlights like factory, just buy some used from the marketplace four less than $50. If you want blackhousings or gunmetal, just buy them off ebay.

If you're going to have them retrofitted, some inexpensive eBay housings should be fine, since the optics and the seals are going to be replaced anyway.

No. You need stock-style headlights to do a propper retrofit.

Why?

Those should actually work well, since they have a provision for a halogen high beam.
