HID kit with projector headlights

I would like to apologize for my ignorance before I start. But I am looking to buy a HID kit (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...983087070&rd=1) and I would like to know if it would work with my stock housing. If not, then what are my options? I heard projector headlights are an option but every projector head light I've seen on ebay says "Not compatible with H.I.D. lighting system". (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...983885325&rd=1)

If you can find a way to retro-fit HID's into your stock 2k housings the beam pattern will be completely different and you will find that the lights glare into the sky blinding other motorist. This is due to the fact that HID bulbs and stock halogen bulbs have different beam patterns. If you really want HID's you should find 2k2-2k3 headlights on ebay with everything you need (ballast, bulb, starter, etc). I know how to re-wire the harness from the 2k into the 2k2-2k3 headlights, so if you need it let me know.
