Hi all!

I'm sorry if there is already a thread about this but I am new here so please forgive me!!!

I just bought a Chevy Malibu Lt last week. It is the first Chevy I have owned (always been a Dodge fan)! It has the halogen headlights and I am wanting to change them over to HID (Xenon) ones. My last couple of vehicles have had them and I can't hardly stand the halogen light. So my question is, do I just buy the bulbs or do I have to get a kit to swap them over? The Chevy dealership where I got it at says one thing and my local dealership tells me another. So if they can't agree, I am totally at a loss!!! Also, are they separate bulbs for Hi/Lo beam and is it just one?!

Thank you in advance for any help for this new Chevy driver!!!

Trish

Check my post here about HID and LED headlights. By the way I have to ask you this. What did Chevy dealer or your local dealership say about HIDs?

Thanks for the link!!! I read it and now Im not so sure which way I want to go. One dealership pretty much said it is a waste of time to change because it could possibly void warranty. They were the ones that said I needed the ballasts, wires and such. The other dealership said I could just get "plug and play" HID bulbs. Oh, and one said I have two separate bulbs for lo/high beam and the other said I have just have one bulb for both. I would like to know as much as I can before finding someone to do one or the other. I don't want to get snookered!!!
