What hid is right for A32?

I read so many threads in 4th gen that I wanted to ask if my fellow I30ers have experimented with bi-xenon HIDs (without projectors) in the stock headlights. Actually, I saw Sycefiro's ad in the classifieds sticky. I just installed Silverstars and am not too happy with them, even though they are better than stock halogens. Will the A32 headlights suffer the same problem of destroyed beam pattern (9004 bulb filaments are horizontal relative to the bulb socket. HID bulbs are vertical).

I somehow liked HID lights on couple of 5th gen Maximas that I saw ... well, I don't wanna hurt other oncoming drivers .. then i'd rather wait and invest money on projectors + HIDs.

Thanks

What projectors are you using? Bi-Xenon?

Good luck, Bi-Xenon is amazing on dark roads.
