Default HID's on CTR Headlights?

I was wondering if anyone had any pics of some HID'S on some CTR Headlights? Some people said it looked like ****, and some said that it looked nice. Any Suggestions or Pictures?

Are you talking about a retrofit?

I'm sure most people are scared to ruin ~400 dollar headlights

I have em' but no pics, I'll take some later. They came with the car when I bought it and it looks good. I need to do a retrofit though, The heat of the D2S' are ******' up my plastic. If I would have had a choice I would've done a retro to begin with but not to shabby for what it is, gotta say that there is a lot of glare though since there is no shields.

I did it with my hatch I converted to be a CTR. They looked tight with after market HID's, but the only thing I didn't like was that I only had the HID's and no High beams. It didn't pass inspection since I didn't have High beams, but I got alot of compliments for them from people. If I can find the pics I'll send them to you.

The best way to retro an ek style headlight is to use a lexus IS reflector bowl. They fit with minor mods, look totally stock, but are OE HID equipment.
