Spotlight HID Conversions

Hi all
Im looking at upgrading a set of LF 170 strikers (or possibly a set of LF 240 Blitz) to HID. Can anybody reccomend a kit (prob 35W) that will do the job? Ive seen them range from $200 to $500 but they all seem to be Hi/Lo conversions for headlights, nothing (that ive found) is mentioned about spotlights.
Has anyone upgraded their Lightforces to HID, if so, how hard was it?
Any info would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Done heaps.
I'd stay away from chinese kits, and would consider grabbing the 55w kits that are now commonly available. They put out heaps more light for a tad bit more current draw. See below.

They seem like the way to go. Is it hard to install your self?

I have used hidrus.com.au and found them to be excellent to deal with and delivery was overnight from Melbourne to Brisbane.

Product was excellent quality and their pricing was very competitive.

I upgraded my headlights to HID on my 80 series - next I will be upgrading my IPF's as they are now no better than the high beam of my HID headlights!
