Do a search for HIDs on this site. You'll find lots of threads discussing everything from installation to where to buy. Some good pictures too...

Search worked for me..
HID reccomendations

I posted that, then searched and found this, and many others...

i got all three sets of my HID's off ebay, i have 6000k in my trucks headlights and fog lights, and then i am going to install my 6000k hi/lo bixenon kit into my supra when i get back from this deployment... the bixenon kit was the most expensive at 70 bucks but the other two kits were only 35 bucks a set and come with a 2 year warranty.... i love the look of my truck with them in and they were plug and play... if you go look for them make sure you get the Xentec kit from the seller orangemika... ive bought all of mine from him and like i said, they come with a 2 year warranty, are plug and play and they are always shipped quickly, plus he is an ebay top rated seller, so your purchase is backed by ebay buyer protection. like i said im currently deployed and my truck is at my parents house but once i get my mom or dad to snap some pics i will post them on here so you can see what they look like.

Install is super easy.its all plug and play. you only need to mount the ballast somewhere. I did it with my husband and it only took 20 minutes. We got them from besthids.com for $30 and the shipping only took 3 days. i hope this helps you. good luck.

i would highly recommend running the relay harness to each set of hids, then your lights are powered directly to the battery and not through the fuse box, it would suck going 75 mph at night and your fuse blow out from to much power draw!!!!!!!!!!!
