Default HID Question

I do not know all that much about HID lights, but I have seen them and they look great compared to the regular lights. I want to get them but I have a few quick questions before I do.

I have an 2007 Z (if relivant).

1) Are they legal? Will I be able to get an inspection sticker?

2) Are they just the bulb or the whole headlight setup?

3) How much am I looking at (est) if I go though my local body shop to get and install them.

4) Is it an easy install, roughly how long does it take?

Thank you

No idea. I see them advertised all the time. But I guess I have them and I didn't even know, but thank you. If I get another car along the line I know it's not just the bulb now

Just replace the HID light buld. I have an 08 with HID and it looks weak. I'm going to replace the bulb with something off EBAY. I have an HID kit off ebay for my Chevy Silverado and it looks great!!!The problem with factory HID is the color of the light, I think the Z is 4300k. The white color HID is 6000k and the the blue color is around 8000k. The replacement buld should be for a D2S 35watt
