For an idea about what a real HID headlight is worth.. bosseuroparts.com sells the Hella dual projector halogen lights for $713.70, and the same ones with the HID Xenon low beam for $1962.84.
If you want to upgrade to a better headlight system and dont want to spend that much, or dont like the dual projector style, you might want to consider the 2002+ european headlights, listed at $488.xx it's quite a bit cheaper. They are halogen headlights but the light output should be better, beams are better or something.
As far as headlights go, you have quite a few options.. HID is probably the most expensive one, but definitely the best. And what paolo said about the HID retrofit kits is true.. they are illegal because putting an HID bulb in a halogen reflector will scatter the light and blind oncoming traffic.
