HID question

should i go with HID's in a set of projectors or right in my OEM headlamps, if i do it in a set of TYC projectors do i have to retro fit or anything or can i just plug the kit right in, i was just curious what the better option would be. thanks for the help everyone.

Mine are on my stock housing..its not that bad on the 04-05 housings. I would do retrofit..but i don't have the time..glare isn't as bad as I thought it would be..and its a world of a difference.

Just PM gearbox he's the man to talk about HID's and retro fitting. This topic has been exhausted but I'm not flaming bc the search button doesn't always give you what you're looking for.

You don't have to go bi-xenon that's only if you want your high beams to be HID. If you notice the BMW's their hi beams are halogen so I think its just preference. Honestly a hi beam HID is just overkill but to each there own.
