FIrst off, welcome to the site.

I moved this from bolt on and all motor forum and into the exterior style since it's about wheels and lights.

More than likely you won't be able to use HID in the headlights or you'll melt them. Most aftermarket molded headlights are not capable of handling the heat output of HID. If you want to use HID without injuring a housing, you should retro fit a stock housing. Also,the HID's you got are some of the first styles sold for these cars a year and a half ago. IMHO, they are also the least attractive and are too busy. THese cars look good on their own, there is really no need to go with the overly common angel eye set up on the car as well as randomly placed LEDs. This is just my opinion though, if you like 'em and they are what you really really want, then by all means, go for it.

I like those wheels. IMO they are a better looking version than what the car comes with stock so they are subtle enough to be eye catching.
