You need headlights and ballasts off a 1999-2001 FGY33 presuming you have a USDM Q45 of 1997 or 1998 vintage.

Of course, but the results will disappoint compared to OEM.

Using a "H.I.D. kit" in a headlamp designed for a incandescent bulb is never a good idea, regardless of "how it looks"- read this to find out why, and how to successfully upgrade your lighting http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech ... sions.html

Just buy the highest quality halogen bulbs and call it a day or get 99-01 complete from a junkyard or new. As that site clearly states, the conversion kits are crap. I played around with the idea and finally just went with Sylvania Platiums and they work great. Unless your keeping this car for a hell of a long time there is no way to get your moneys worth out of that upgrade.
