Depending on who made the black housing headlights, you'll only experience horrible hot spots with a PnP HID kit.

I would go with OEM headlamps. There'll still be hot spots, just not as bad compared to aftermarket headlights.

I like the look of the OEM stock housing but, like the look of the Black housing too. HID in either is a waste IMO. The glare you get from the reflector housing makes it reflect all over the place. I hate seeing really bright *** blue, purple and yellow lights coming from the opposite direction blinding me and other oncoming drivers....."argh".
So I opted out for a set of Denji housing and retro-fitted TSX projectors in them...much better! I know it doesn't relate as much to the poll but, just my .02

a friend of mine has a pnp kit in stock housings and his lights face up in the trees and he is always getting flashed by other drivers. but there is alot more light output, too bad you can control where its pointed
