Can you put those bright headlights that most new/fancy cars have into a older Honda?

I've got a 2002 Honda Civic with standard headlights. My night vision isn't that great and I prefer driving cars with the bright new lights (what are they? halogen?) I want to know if its possible to put bright lights in my car, either by installing new bulbs or getting the Honda mechanics to do it. If its possible, are they/installation expensive?Can you put those bright headlights that most new/fancy cars have into a older Honda?They're Xenon and you can get conversion kits you can install yourself.Can you put those bright headlights that most new/fancy cars have into a older Honda?Those lights are commonly known as Xenon lights although the correct term is HID (high-intensity discharge). You can probably find kits to install on your car, HOWEVER some kits sell HID lights that may not be legal to use in your area. Some are not meant to be used on public roads at all. Also, for the love of everything descent left in the world- do not use them because they are extremely annoying for other drivers to deal with, essentially you are temporarily blinding other drivers with the glare and creating a potentially dangerous situation for the oncoming traffic. If there are situations where you need increased light, just switch on your high beams TEMPORARILY. Keep in mind that you need to share the road with other drivers. "Bright new lights" are more of a money making scheme/trend developed by car makers to try to sell you new cars with unnecessary and expensive options.
