Default HID kit install, now further questions...

Will purchasing projector headlamp housings, (like http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33710 for instance), fix the projected light produced by the HIDs? I want my HIDs to produce crisp, sharp lines like OEM units, currently they are not. They look like what the halogens looked like, just much brighter. Any help will be helpful. Thanks.

P.S. Any ways to fix the mushy lines of the light produced would be greater if I don't have to buy anything, if possible. Anyone else have this problem?

buy oem projectors. i.e. s2000 projectors work great. just need to retrofit them to your current housings.

It should...but don't count on being as crisp as the OEM headlights. Projectors are the best for any HID compared to reflector housing.

Sounds like at least a $500 part from the dealer.

How difficult is it to do?

Anyone have retrofitted housings for HID lights for a 91 civic for sale?
