Default PROJECTORS OR STOCK?!!

I purchased a pair of 10k hid's for my car and they look great! I love them! But, now I'm wondering if I should get projectors or not... It looks really nice w/ my stock headlights, but I like the looks of the Acura TL headlights. I wonder if I get the really nice projector headlights for my car, would my lights kinda shine out like the newer cars do? Just wanting some advice and personal stories, haha. thanks!

Ebay special projectors will most likely disappoint you in most cases. The only way to get an Acura cut off is to do a projector retrofit which will cost you $$$ at customlights.com. That'd be the best way to go imo

Do you have ne ideas of where I can get the deepest/ darkest blue color? I have the 10k and it is not quite blue.. just kinda purple-ish and blue.. ne ideas?

10k FTL ... I have TSX retrofitted projectors with OEM 4300K D2S HID bulbs in my JDM Black-housing headlights ( Prelude ), crystal white color output. I bet you don't even know that those 10k hid bulbs of yours are the weak sauce, the the light output is about 1/4 of the output of the 4300k. Go eat some rice.

DIY HID Retrofit FTW, it cost me about $ 250 in parts and the labor was free 'cuz I'm a DIYer.
