Do You Already Have the Projectors?
What Shrouds are you using and what Ballasts are you going with?
Do You Have another set of Headlights your using or just your stock Housings?

What Is Your Budget?

Yes this is True, However... There is a Reason Car Manufacturers don't just throw in a $70-$150 D2R type HID Kit and call it a day.

If You install an Aftermarket HID Kit in a reflector based Housing, You Will get an insane amount of Glare, Not to mention indirect aimed Light.

Projectors are your friend if you want to go True HID.

I never understood why people say HIDs shoot light everywhere.... The bulbs direct light the same way a oem bulb does right? So it should be the same but brighter.
