new to this need some info
Where could I get a HID package/kit for my 2000 ssei? and also the clear corners for front and back lights? I want to hook my baby up before next summer.

I don't think any of your car'* generation have done HID'*. Smellbird did to his earlier Gen.
Lucky for you, living in MA, you're in 2000+ clear-corner central. I think the NE-sters did 2 cars at the last meet?

i cant help you too much with the HIDs, however, i believe another recent new member with a 2000+ has them, maybe if you search around the site you could find something about it
for the clear corners, i have done my front and rears (ive actually done 5 sets of fronts) The fronts are very easy with a heatgun, a screwdriver and a 10mm wrench, i can do them in about 30minutes for the pair. The rears are another story. i did mine. and they SUCK to do... i wouldnt do it again, i would rather spend the money on a set of GXP taillights then clear them again
this will give you an idea of how the lights look when done
(please excuse the mess, the car is dirty in these pics)

HID'* w/o projectors are technically illegal. And are NOT very kind to other drivers on the road. If you plan to do a projector retrofit there are a few of us here considering it.

the clear headlights and tails were made by Toasty....you cannot but them....all you have to do is remove the amber part of the lens.....
you wont be able to get HID'* from the dealer.......you can Try Silverstars in the 00+ but they have had a high failure rate
