Default new headlights

one of my headlights is broken and the other is just damn dirty.
so im looking at headlights for it. i found a couple pairs that say "projector headlights" does that mean for HIDs because they look exactly the same as mine now.

stock integra headlights are considered projector head lights if i'm not mistaken just by the way the direct light. Now you can get headlights that are made for easy HID installation or even by headlights with the HID's included with them. Example:

True HID projectors will spread the light out over a larger area dispersing the greater amount of light not just in front of you. They generally have a cleaner, more precise cutoff line. Most the stuff on ebay is not truly made for HIDs, those are usually a lot more expensive. But since you don't want HIDs they're probably fine. Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong.

i'd recommend replacing the broken headlight with another oem one and just polishing the dirty one. those aftermarket headlights have pretty shitty light output; i've had them before and i wouldn't recommend them. they look nice on the car but the light output sucks pretty bad.

those headlights aren't designed for hid's. hid bulbs require a different design from regular bulbs. stock integra headlights have projectors, but putting hid bulbs in them still isn't recommended. if you want proper hid headlights you have to stick in actual hid projectors in the headlights.
