I think these are similar to the Hella conversion lamps sold by http://www.rallylights.com/hella/5.75_lo.asp
They fit in OEM sealed beam brackets but are open on the back to accept HID bulbs instead of H1 and H4 like the Hellas.
 I couldn't tell what the complete cost for this setup is. The Hella setup is $175.

Those look pretty promising...  What modifications would I have to make to install these?

i called turnermotorsport today regarding their Hella conversion kit (found here http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html/show_category.asp?txtsearchParamCat=Lighting ) and they said no modifications are required.  they are designed to fit into the old connectors.  the rallylights.com place seems to have a much better deal on that kit though.  I have bought from there before, they are very helpful over the phone and ship quickly.

If you are going the HID route, isn't there dif between the US elip and Euro elip?  The conversion kit from Turner is for the 9006 bulb/low beam.

The US elips use 9006 bulbs while the Euro elips use H1 bulbs.  The US elips have a cutoff like this  ____ ____  where the Euro elips have a cutoff like this __/ __/ .
