Yeah, mine does that. I suppose it's normal.

As for HIDs, check out http://stores.ebay.com/HID-Direct

I got a low-beam kit from him for $80 shipped, and it's worked perfectly. I actually got HIDs for the foglights as well, for the look. You can get high/low beams, but they're about double the price.

For the headlights, you'll need the H4 bulbs. For the fogs, 880-series. I'd go for 5000K temperature, as that's pure white. But if you want a tinge of blue, go with 6000K. I wouldn't go any higher than that though, as the light output will decrease.

To do the headlight HIDs, you'll need the Hella H4 conversion lenses from Mid-America. They're $55 each, sold individually.
