Default Integra projector question.

Has anyone ever used the stock Integra projectors in a hid retro fit? Would that be fine or no? Thanks

Integra 9006 halogen projectors are not that good compared to actual HID projectors. Integra projectors with HID puts down a relatively narrow beam pattern with lots of hot spots (really bright light) about 20-30 feet in front of the car.

HID projectors will put out a very wide spread pattern of light and extend out much farther than the pattern from HID in the halogen projectors.

It's pretty much crap. Dont use it. It's a waste of time. If you want more light, save up some money and get some real projectors.

Integras use a 3" projector lens.

To use a projector with a smaller lens like an S2000 (2.5" lens), you have to use something to take up the gap between the lens and the bezel. I've seen people use the Integra's projector lens trim ring on top of the S2000's lens trim ring to take up the gap and it seemed to work well.
