HID in stock housings??

Has anyone done this? How does it look? I have a set of Q45 HIDs that I want to put in my rex w/ the stock housings. Can anyone who has done this give me any pointers (specifically on bulb fitment & wiring....is it as simple as pos/neg to corresponding ballast leads?)? Please help!

i'm not sure that it's a good idea to put HIDs on reflectors. you'll probably end up with a weird dispersion pattern. you'll end up getting flashed a lot by oncoming traffic. i think this topic has been covered before so a search may be helpful.

OT: naples eh? i'm moving down there this august.
