Default HID upgrades

So I've been contemplating HIDs for my 2005. I think I've found a route that I'd like to take. I will be buying these projectors made for the H1 http://www.dashzracing.com/92-01-hum...nd-bk-a11.html and retrofitting them with a HID kit. Does anyone know if I will have trouble fitting the H2 bulb (9007) into these housings?

Also, what other suggestions might you guys have?

I've tried searching but many other options are very costly.

i have a cheap HID kit from ebay in mine. 55 watt ballast with 6000K color. cost me 50 bucks a set and they work great. i keep a spare set in case i get a burn out. but ive had them in for almost 2 years now and havent had any issues.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but aren't the stock H2 headlight reflectors for halogens? If so, wouldn't putting HIDs in combination with the stock reflectors make it illegal?

A couple questions about your experience:
1. Have you received any complaints (flashes) from oncoming traffic?
2. Where did you mount the ballast/how (pics if possible)?

thanks in advanced!

ive gotten a few flashes from on coming drivers, but then again i got flashes with the regular halogen bulbs. i mounted the ballast rightby the back of the headlight. theres 3 bolts that hold the headlight housing in. i just used one of those the hold it in place. dont go with a kit that has HID hi beams. i havent been able to getthem to work. i have halogen Hi beam and HID low. the halogen hi beams are a joke, but you can still flash them if you get flashed at. the HID Hi beam kits need grounded out and it runs alot more wires. i never got them to work so i only use the low beams HID.

Another question:

I want to get the kit off ddm tuning here: http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/DD...ast-35W-or-55W

What is all the stuff I need to buy? I already know I want the 55W, 5000k, and need the 9007/HB5 (with Hi/Low).
Do I need the HID Harness, Adapter Cables, or Error Eliminator?

everything appears to be there. not sure what the box is that runs to the ballast. but it looks the same as what i have.
