you guys want HID ( has nothing to do with the headlights) or you guys want different headlights?

HID means High-intensity discharge lamps.

There are Halogen lamps and projectors.
halogen looks like this:

projector just like what the gt86, frs brz comes with

why would you need to retrofit this?
Either Im going crazy or you guys don't even know what you talking about!
HID projectors are different from halogen projectors. Even if you reuse the halogen projectors (which is very hit and miss for xenon light output/beam pattern) you need more than just bulbs. You need ballasts and some wiring with specific non standard bulbs. To do it right you need ballasts, hid projectors and the correct bulb type (d2s is most common) plus wiring.
