Default HID Coversion worth it?

Soooo, I bought my Z used, it's an 06, but the person before me apparently stripped it and sold nice parts and had the 03-05 headlights and tailights put in before trading it in.

Well now I sit here and my drivers side headlight went out, and I'm stuck, I can't decide whether to replace the bulb, or just go ahead and convert it to a plug and play HID kit....

advice?

Are you sure you don't have HIDs? You might just have the older style headlight which still has HID just not a true "projector"

Hope you didnt pay 06 value on a car that had swapped out parts, you probably didnt know the difference back then but that stuff adds up to a substantial value of the car. You got robbed

I would upgrade since the halogens look like crap.
