Default Honda civic HID conversion?

Hey guys I need some advice real quick. Automotive lighting is not my forte. My wife has a 2004 Honda civic, and recently her own headlights started cracking down the middle and letting moisture in. They looked like crap so I decided to get her new ones. I went with the K2motors R8 style headlights since she thought those were the prettiest (lol). I wasn't expecting HID quality from these headlights, but these things are just sad. The low beams are a deep yellow color that shine about 25' in front of the car and that's it. It's actually dangerous to drive with these things at night. I take them apart and look up the bulb, which is an H3, and I find out its producing about 850 lumens. Sad. I want to upgrade to HID, but I don't know what all I would need to get. What is a good site to buy a kit from and what all would I need to buy? Is 50w really that much better than 35w? I read somewhere that that's why people's new bulbs are blinking on and off, something about a resistor messing up the draw of current on the car and the car spazzing out and shutting down that circuit. Input?
