Default Question about HID

Hi I m interest in installing HID for my car.
Question is. should I just buy the HID kit and installed on OEM headlight?
or Should i go buy Projector headlight?

Because most projector headlight are not for HID kit

Does the OEM headlight will output too much light for HID light?

i havemy h.i.ds on oem headlights i like it better on non projector headlight becaue if u notice like on maximas and bmws when theyre in front of u they look deep blue but when they pass u up or if u look on the ground it sort of look like just a white light, on my oem headlight the whole street light up a violet blue color even white cars, but i do think i bind people cuz at least once a night someone flashes me thinking i got high beams on.

If your headlights are adjusted correctly you shouldn't be blinding anyone. And 2002haccord, the reason projectors do that is b/c the way it splits up the light, from certain angles it looks blue when the light is really white. Stock BMWs and Benzes have 6000k HIDs which is why the light is white, not b/c of the projectors. If you put 8000k or higher in a projector the light would still come out blue, and even bluer at those different angles. I think HIDs look better in a flood light then a projector, just b/c the whole light fills with the HID color and not just a small projector lens.

Defiantly go for 8000k if you want a tint of blue, 6000k are just white.

I have the HID for my high and low beam, and I have the stock headlight housings. They are actually a cooler bulb, only being a 35watt bulb, and your regular headlight bulb being 55watts. It's up to you if you want the projecters, but you don't have to. I can post a pic of low and then high and low together. I have the 8000k. I love them.
