Ok, I'm trying to find out what my options are for replacing my cracked, dim, pitted, water-filled headlights. I am in the unfortunate position of having the US Non-Ellipsoid headlights currently. Here are 2 options I know of:

- Ebay knock-off euro ellipsoids $250
- Hella euro ellipsoids $500

However, I'm very tempted to go HID, and I've read that the HID option works much better with US ellipsoids than with euro ellipsoids.

So, what are my options for switching to US Ellipsoids? Can I buy just the ellipsoid lens assemblies and put them into my existing housings, or adapt them somehow? Or do I need to find the entire assembly/housing (like you get with a euro setup) somewhere?

If I can just buy the lens units (not just the lens, but the lens + bulb housing) from BMA, they are around $320 for all 4 lights, and then I could go HID as my budget allows. ($400-500 for a 9006 kit)

Thoughts or help? I'd go for the ebay euro kits, but I don't want to get stuck and unable to go HID in the near future.
