Default Best way to HID EK

I've got an EK with a 2000 conversion and I was wondering the best way to put on HIDs. As of now i just have the bulbs in the stock headlights, however the rubber grommet wont fit so they're not sealed at all and I know they'll fog, as well as cause glare for other motorists. I'd like something OEM, but I haven't seen anything HID compatible for that year. What are your guys' ideas?

Retrofit!

TSX, S2k, TL, etc projectors look good.

The most light output is either the 3800K or the 4000K if i remember the old thread about HIDs correctly.

Anything higher is just ricer purple light, and is dangerous.

thats when it starts to turn blue, and the actual quality starts to go down too.
