don't get the stick on ones, make sure you get the clip ins. ie: not Ventshade!!!!! so either get ones from Japan (Vision?) or Germany (Weathertech). I had the Weathertech ones, they're pure sex http://www.weathertech.com/ and a great price too!

^^ thats what im stuck on too ... is it worth in getting the weathertech ... and what if after some time i take them out, then the window wont seal properly because of the enlarged gap ... ?
as for HID kit ... retrofit is the way to go ... dont bother with plug-in HID as you would just blind oncoming drivers ...
and to answer your question, the HID bulbs run cooler then stock halogen bubls, therefore they wont melt the stock headlights ...
but again ... plug-in HID is not the way to go.

Hids or HR, they both work, I've a hid p/n/p kit, install is easy.
I garage could do it for you, you're looking at $120 and up for a hid kit. Either install yourself, or pay.
