it does take quite a bit of work. i used to charge $400 labor (customer supplied all required parts). There are several companies that will do it all and supply the parts, but expect to spend $800 to over $1000.
a proper OEM retrofit using used parts from the hidplanet.com for sale forumn:
ballasts (denso, matsushita): $100
wire harness(theretrofitsource.com): $40
phillips bulbs: $75-150
HID projector (acura TL, FX-R, RX330, etc): $75-200
shroud: $40
not cheap compared to the cheap, piece of crap PNP hid kits, but awesome when done!!
I personally when with RX330 modded projectors, matsushita ballasts, phillips bulbs, TRS wire harness and shrouds. I am doing all the work myself and have about $325 into HID parts.
sounds like you would be best served with a good quality set of replacement 9006 bulbs.
