You don't want to run HID's in your stock housings. TONS AND TONS of glare will happen.
You need an aftermarket headlamp that has a 'dome' over the bulb. Something like these:

Do you have experience with this or is this word of mouth? I was contemplating getting a set similar to the ones Manofak showed for my '93, but if you say they aren't all that great for HIDs then forget it...

Anything that is not designed for HIDs isn't going to be "all that great" for HIDs. I have no personal experience with them so I can't say weather they would be better than the stockers or not.

Stay away fromputting hid's in a stock 98-00 headlamp imo....there's tons and tons of glare compaired to a headlamp with the 'dome' over the bulb(stock and some aftermarket 98-00 lamps do not have this dome). TrePaul's old truck had stock headlamps on his '00 with 4300k hids. glare galore. Glare isn't all too bad at all on a headlamp with the 'dome' over the bulb.

Why are you getting rid of it?

HID's are not designed for a stock housing and they shoot light all over the place. I had some installed and drove it for a weekend and took them out. I mean, I was shooting light all over the place. I'm not sure of a domed housing would help out or not. You can do it, it just depends on how picky you are with the results. I took mine out and put them in the quad....they kick *** in the woods lol
