hid saturn?

I want to buy an aftermarket HID kit from Sylvania for about $350. My
saturn is a 95 SC2 with pop up headlights. Are HID's installed on pop
up headlights a good idea?

 

They look cool, but let me tell you that they are illegal and you risk
getting pulled over for a ticket in most states.
If it isn't oem, and a cop is having a bad day, it may cost you alot of
money and frustration. (in FL you WILL get a ticket eventually) Also, please
do us other drivers a favor and pleeeease have your lights professionally
adjusted. I can't tell you how many times at night I have been blinded by a
$200. Jamaican Jitney with $300. HID's that were home installed.
You might get away with some nice Sylvania Silverstars, they are only about
$40. at Wallmart and not as suspicious.

cheers!

It isn't the bulb or the brightness or the colour - it's the patterned
*glass* it shines through which could be your biggest problem. For example,
swapping HID directly into an enclosure designed for a 9007 filament is
apparently a bad idea - check it out for yourself:
