Pretty much Tobeit said. If he doesnt know what HID stands for or what it is, covering squirrel spotters or even thinking about installing himself is way out of his league.

well... here are things I considered as far as light quality:
1) HID: cheap if done the cheap way, moderately expensive if done properly
2) h11-> other fitment: Cheaper, and you can use silverstar type bulbs and what not, but not even close to what HID output is.
