ur gonna do an engine swap? and expect H-T to help you put in some light bulbs?

not to burst your bubble, but it's gonna look better standing outside your car, than it is inside your car. My prediction is that Your not gonna be happy with the results of those hid's, and your gonna ditch them for some regular bulbs.

Well supposedly that kit is plug n play. If you can do an engine swap, you can put those in no sweat.

However the light output and beam pattern will be junk and most likely glare all over the place, blinding other drivers. If they are over 6000K, the light output won't be much better than some PIAA bulbs.

Yes, 8000k bulbs in a reflector housing is not going to give you the results you want. It's the kind of thing you see and are happy about, but once you compare it to OEM quality lighting, you'll see the shortcomings.
