nvy you dont need to upgrade the housing. just get the HIDs that are the same bulb type as what your headlights are. you can get bi-xenon since you have hi lo together. id say go to http://ddmtuning.com/ since it is right by you.

go bixenon. its a little extra $$. like $5-10 i think per light, but then you can have the hi beams. which you need for cali anyways. my friend has hids in his lightning style lights and they are nice and bright. i think if you call up ddm it MIGHT be plug and play, but dont take my word on that.

can you send me the seller alaskan? and did this just consist of replacing the bulbs with the new HID bixenons or do i need any kind of harnesses as well?

if its plug and play then you have your connector for the stock lights. plug in the new harness, mount the ballast somewhere. install light. plug in light. turn switch. good to go. if its a custom set up, idk...? google and youtube are your friends there.
At least you don't have the fresnel housings. Those things suck.
I've also had success with VVME. The only issue on my sister's (9007) bi-xenon is the harness was wired differently. A quick google search fixed the issue. If you order the bi-xenon, it should already come with the relay harness, ready to plug in.
If you want to mod the housings, you can get projector retrofits (not the ebay crap). This would give the the best output, but this involves different bulbs (depends on projector, though probably D2S). This involves taking apart your headlight.
