Has anyone upgraded to HID?
If so, what did you use?
Also, are there any plans to offer HID as an option for the next MY?

You could definitely do a projector retrofit yourself, but there are going to be compliance issues. Also, real HID systems have autolevellers, to prevent glare as the load in your vehicle changes. If you do a web wide search you will find some excellent writeups that show you what's involved. Also, I think people on this forum are reluctant to post something that's not entirely "legal" although I think if properly done, it would be fine. The problems mainly come from people putting rebased HID bulbs into lenses designed for halogen bulbs. Result: horrific glare (in most cases).
