Haha.

All you need to know about HID's is that they are expensive and worth every penny.

An HID system will give you about 100% more range than the stock halogens, but they require clever wiring including a ballast for each light that you mount in the engine bay. Many HID kits also don't include high beams. You can get them in different colors. The color depends on the wavelength. For road use, color will range from a bright clear white (4300K) to a blueish/purplish white (8000K+). You can also get crazy colors from an HID kit, but it isn't practical for anything short of a show car. That is about all I know... now go research your damn self! Haha.
