Is there a HID conversion kit out there on the market for 1997 volvo 850 glt? Any website suggestions or previous buyers that could help me out?

This website legit or bogus?

NOTE: My cousin told me to check out the Sylvania HID kit(Xenarc) and I should be able to get HID's?

Check out ebay for hid kits, they are pretty cheap and work well, you probably will need a relay as well because they may flicker.

Just look for it as HID kits, not vehicle specific?

Yes just search for HID kits, but if you purchase them you will have to specify the bulb size. My friend bought a kit from ebay (not vehicle specific) all you got to do is specify the bulb size.

Thanks...ordering my lights by next week...one question. ..what bulbs should I get for my vehicle(97 850GLT)...the 35w or 55w?

That depends on what you want them for. 35w are very good in the 5000k to 8000k range. Anything before and after that is mostly for looks and won't get you any more light output. 55w are even brighter but will drown out most of the color of the bulb (they look more white) and are illegal for street use in many places. I have the 8000k 35w and they are 100 times better than stock and look great too. Also, not to knock SharpHID because they're awesome and I bought my first two sets of HIDs from them, but you can get the same kit that they sell from the manufactuer for $50 puls shipping. DDM Tuning out of San Diego owns the company. I buy mine right at their office to save the shipping since they're local.
