Hella or Cibe only way to go. Been using one or the other since the late 60's and on our c4 have 130/90watt bulbs only way to go at night
You may want to change the bulb sockets out with the heavy duty ones to take the extra heat that the bulbs put out but your charging system can handle it.
Good Luck

Buy the Hella H4 housing conversions, then buy HIDs with the H4 bulb. Plenty bright
Housings (be sure to get 2): http://ecklers.com/product.asp?pf_id=35266&dept_id=1476
Low-beam only HID Kit: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Slim-...Q5fAccessories
BiXenon HID kit: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BI-XE...Q5fAccessories
With this eBay seller, you specify the bulb type and color during checkout. Bulb is H4 for the headlights, and 880 if you want to put these in your foglights as well (looks badarse!). For color, I'd recommend 5000k or 6000k. 5000 is pure white, 6000 has just a tinge of blue. More than that and you lose light.

take a look at this site. he has everything you need.
a relay kit, cibie lamps and some high watt bulbs will equal or beat any aftermarket HID and you will have high and low beam.

I am not sure about anyone else but I am not a fan of HID headlights and how they work. I had a 2004 Subaru STi with HIDs and there is too much of a line from the lighted area to the dark area. It is not a nice wide spread light like a normal bulb. Look above at the HID pictures for example. Everything outside of the lighted range is very dark as opposed to the slowly fading light that emits from the side of normal bulbs. I had a hard time with them being too much of a projector type as opposed to a wide spread light.

This guy has his $##@$ together for what its worth I have been using Hella, Cibie, and Lucas since the late sixty's in all sort of rides from bugeyes to 510 rallycar to 240z on and off track and in all night rallies( us old guys might know about those). Write the guy what you are looking for and keep it simple. If you want to go with kelvin deg stay at 5000 it would be noon day sun and 6000 and up they will start to get blue which throws the colors off and you go the wrong way. Hell back then we had to order some of our stuff from Europe and now withthe internet it is easy but there is alot of miss information out there. KEEP it Simple and the rest is EASY.
GOOD LUCK wro87
