I do not live in the UK, but i know you will need the HID housings(i do not know if these contain the auto leveling) the headlight washing system(you could get a new bumper and system and possibly install them)

I too would like to make my Si use HIDs and would like to know this but first i need money.

If you decide to go down HID road, DO NOT INSTALL THEM IN THE HALOGEN HEADLIGHT UNITS.

And get good HIDs not the chinese ebay ones.

It's easy enough to fit aftermarket HIDs, there's a couple of 'How To's' on the forum.

They can be fitted to the standard halogen reflector housing but make sure you get H7R bulbs, not the regular H7's.

Technically you'll need to install auto-leveling and a headlight washer system to make them legal which would be a big job.

As above, don't get a cheap kit off eBay. You'd be better off spending a little bit more and getting a good quality kit from a reputable supplier.
