Just did this today, and so far i am really happy with the results.
For this mod you need these things-> (i used 55 watt, 5000k) http://www.ddmtuning.com/products/101/
these ( or any kc/hella/pro comp light, i already had these kind)-> http://www.4wheelparts.com/Lighting...c=14&t_s=448&t_pt=4242&t_pl=1849&t_pn=EXP9160
The kit comes with 2 ballasts, and two bulbs. be careful not to touch the bulb, as the oils from your fingers will cause a hot spot on the bulb. Disassemble the light, simply unscrew the bulb, then screw in the new hid bulb. Mine was a direct replacement (h3 bulb type), i only had to open up the read of the housing to fit the wire connections out. The rest of it is pretty self explanatory as the HID will wire directly into the original harness for the aftermarket light. My pro comp harness worked perfectly and my HIDs wired exactly the same as the halogen bulbs. I mounted the ballasts underneath my ARB with zipties, and so far it is holding up just fine. Here are some comparison pics.
High beams, Rigid duallys, HID converted pro comps
High beams, Rigid duallys
High beams only
The HIDs definitely make a huge difference from the basic halogens, they also operate at a lower temperature and draw only 2 amps, much less than the halogens drew. I also like the color of the HIDs much more versus the halogens.
