Have a look at the link below from Bob's / Aztec Performance as they have run several HID upgrade GB's on here, they should be able to provide a kit to suit your car.

AZTEC PERFORMANCE ONLINE STORE - WHOLESALE PRICES DIRECT TO THE PUBLIC

I would go for a blue colour HID as I think they look the mutts nuts and give the best light.

Nearly forgot to ask did you get your air conditioning sorted?

I think this set should be ok for you

AZTEC PERFORMANCE ONLINE STORE - WHOLESALE PRICES DIRECT TO THE PUBLIC - SuperHID (Xenon) Conversion Kits :: Dual (Dipped & Main) Beam Kits :: SuperHIDs (slimline) HID Conversion Kit - H4 Fitment

But I would go for the highest rating as it gives a more 'blue' light, it might we worth you PM'ing user name BOB'S for more advice than I can give.

6ooo k give off a blue tint
8ooo k give off a blue light but don't light up the road as good
The higher the k the less light. I think its the 4ooo k that gives the closest to natural light

6000k is probably a good one to go for, any higher and they will be too blue and as mark said you'll get less light output which sort of defeats the object

H4 is the fitment used in the classic's but i think newage cars use a different fitment

H4 is a duel beam bulb hi/lo think newages use two seperate bulbs.
