Default 97 Accord HID question

Quick question about installing an HID kit in my stock housings. Will they kit work with the little metal cap thing inside the headlight? I wasn't sure if the bulb would be too long and hit the little cap that's in there.
Thanks

Its fine that is just to limit the high light output. it will fit with no problem.

Thank you for the quick response. I searched and didn't actually see anyone that had pictures posted up of the beam pattern. I don't want to do it if it causes too much glare.
Just picked up a 97 Coupe and haven't had a Honda for a few years.Last one was an EG hatch with TYC projectors and a PnP kit. It had ok beam pattern.

the bulb has nothing to do with the cutoff unless it has casper shields. I personally hate seeing people put hid's in housing made for halogens, but casper shields will help quite a bit.

just go back to tyc and hids. thats what i have
