CCFL vs. HID?

Yeah I know they're two different things, but I don't know exactly how they stack up as far as brightness, color, etc. Also, the actual headlight just uses a standard halogen bulb? What would it take to convert it to HID?
 
HID's bulbs are extremely bright. You will like them more than halogen bulbs. Color ranges from basically anything. Google them and find what you like the best. To convert to HID's, you will need HID bulbs and ballasts. Go to DDMtuning.com or VVME.com to order some and pick out what you want.
 


^ Yeah I did know that much. I guess I was exaggerating when I said I know pretty much nothing on the subject. I was just clarifying that the H1 bulb used was a halogen bulb. But would a retrofit be necessary or would it be a relatively smooth installation?
 
Retrofit will give the car a more factory look with projectors, basically. It pretty much is personal preference. It's not that hard to do if you have the patience to do it.
 
Thanks for clearing all this up guys. When ordering from DDM, will I need the harness/error eliminator/adaptor cables?
 


I have the DDM kit... I didn't even bother installing the upgraded harnesses, and I have no problems whatsoever. It's a personal preference, but mine are just in the closet collecting dust.
 
I like peace of mind. Iv already put a engine in, rear shocks, control arms, idler pulley, fuel pump, cv axles, trailing arms prob other crap since I bought it in march. I dont NEED more things to fix! My water pump is squeaking when its cold now:th_shakinghead2:
