Upgrading to HID headlights

Has anyone purchased any of the many conversion kits that supposedly allow you to upgrade your headlights to HID? There are a number of kits on both EBay and Amazon, but the reviews are not all that great. I'm sure the factory HID system parts are priced way crazy.

I have fitted aftermarket HID. Which work well. I could not go back to oem.

but I couldnt tell you the make as it was 3 years ago and there are no makers markings.

But I am looking to change to the legal option highlighted by xkracer as the technology appears to have moved on.
