Default HID Projector Lights 2003 Civic

I am thinking about buying projector lights off ebay but I wanted to know if anyone has baught and put HID in the projector lights?
Dose it look the same as cars with OEM HID?
I have a Kit already but I just need to buy the bulbs , I was going to stay stock but would really like to do the projector lights with the HID...

Oh no I have a good source for the HID lights , My question about the projector lights themselves..
Do they have the same appearance as OEM projectors or are they different ?
I would like to have the projector headlights on my Civic just want to keep it as OEM look as I can....

HID pnp in halogen projectors can be good but I'd say it's better if your going the route to get OE projectors and get the real and proper output. My headlight conversion units have cheapo H3 projo's and while I can see loads better with the hid bulb I can still see where it's cast sucks and how it's not an even fill below the cut off.

Projectors look nothing like OEM headlights... Alot of projectors come with halos... the projector headlights themselves have a big glass bulb that sits in front of the lightbulbs that controls the light from being thrown in all directions.... I have projectors (w/halos) AND 6k HIDs and I wouldn't have it any other way... look at my sig, my headlights dont look stock.

so you mean HID's in the stock housing? if so then they aren't Projectors. projectors are what Moogley posted there.

As for HID in our oem housings then yes they are different then the BMW/Merc as ours were not designed for HID's but they do work wonderfully. Just if you want high beams that are HID's too then get BiXenon's
These pics suck... i should get better ones... but you get the idea

HAHAHAH Awesome! Yeah... my projectors dont shine that high up in the air, they make a perfect line like this.... so anything above it isn't lit at all... I need to take a picture but this is what it'd look like at Fiirkan's place

I had put a HID Kit on my 02 Xterra so I did loose the High beam but that was ok.
I want to try to get the OEM look for projector HID ..

In other words when you see me coming down the street at night you couldn't tell if it was a Honda or a BMW. you know what I mean?
