Default hid in projectors?

I really want to get some hids for my 96 civic but i dont know if i want to buy a kit because i dont really think it will look good on the oem headlight housings ie glare. i want to know does anybody have oem audi or bmw projector hids in their civic.

i saw these projectors and was thinking if i could retrofit them with a stock bmw projector.
thanx in advance

As far as HID goes, there are 2 types of blubs. Bulbs for projectors (D2S) and bulbs for reflectors (D2R) you won't get a propper light pattern if you go with the wrong kind of bulb.

if you have aftermarket projectors like the angels eyes, etc, you need hid kits made for H3 style bulbs

i am not sure if this will be much help to you. this is a guy who retrofit audi projectors into some similar aftermarket headlights for his EK.
when/ if you do your swap can you post a how to? i am interested in doing the exact same thing using the same headlights you want to use
