I would stick with the OEM HIDS. From what i read, putting HIDS into a halogen projector is a serious no no.

Those 'projectors' will look like lemons with HIDs in them. Why, even the photos of them with halogens look like crap. Drill them out and put in some valeos, a6, e55 or s2000 in there and you have a winner.

Imho, ditching totally decent oem lights for cheapo aftermarket and expecting them to look anything like an oem projector is impossible. They are cheap. And will perform cheap. How they look it well, up to each one to decide. But heck, buy em and try them and take photos... nothing to loose if you want them anyway.

They may look nice from CM, but the light output sucks on the road.
