HID lights, help?

I'm looking for an HID upgrade solution to my vehicle. I've browsed multiple sites and so far it seems most options are going to be jerry rigging it into my existing lights. Does anyone make an aftermarket HID lamp that you can just slap in there? I have a 2001 A4 1.8t quattro. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you either mod it so they become HID lamps, or you buy HID ecodes and pay out the @$$ for them.

Will I need anything special to do the conversion? Will I need to buy two sets for the hi/lo lamps? Is it just plug and play? Any suggestions on a reputable company?
