ebay projectors are usually H1, stock are H4.

halo can be wired to whatever source you want, they could be wired to turn signals, parking lights, your own switch, how ever you wire them its just a positive and negative wire.

You'd need to replace the projectors in them. Check out HIDPlanet.com

As shmik1 already posted, the aftermarket projectors normally go with H1 bulbs. Guaranteed you bought the H4 hid kit for your stockers, so your hid kit wouldn't work with the projectors. You can try getting them to fit, but I'd just have to be while you do. As well, normal aftermarket projectors for our cars are halogen based projectors, not HID based. Therefore the beam pattern will not be crisp and you will more than likely still have glare.

They had better not be blue halos to start. Technically it'd be good enough for DRL purposes basically - but you'd more than likely run a switch for them somewhere, unless you rewire the headlights for the car itself. As the DRLs come on through the headlights and not the parking lights/etc etc
Though for this question I'd have to turn around and ask, how are you currently getting around this fact? Perhaps you are like me and running fog lights as daytime, but I don't think you have fogs - so I imagine you are running the parking lights as daytimes. In which case, you could simply do the same for the projectors. If you wanted the halos on at the same time, they just need to wire them to be on with parkings..
