Default oem hid to after market hids any help please

To make a long story short, I got a 95 Integra GSR with a JDM ITR HID conversion.

The OEM HIDs don't clear on either side of the car (driver side: ac line / passenger side: abs module) I don't want to bend lines or remove stuff to make it work. I also don't want to rig the factory HIDs either.

I plan on buying an aftermarket HID kit and use this instead.

My questions are:

What kit will fit on the factory HID headlights?
Will I be able to make this work?
Would I be able to sell the OEM HID and for how much?

Please guys I need help and I've tried searching.

Any kit the includes standard D2S capsules.

I see no reason why not.

Probably, but I'm not sure you'll get a whole lot for just the capsules and ballasts. Probably enough to more or less break even on the replacement ones though.

The a/c line gets bent slightly and that's it. You won't regret using the oem hid's. IMO they look better than any aftermarket hid I've seen. I had a phillips kit before and it was nice, but the oem hids blow the th phillips out of the water. It's your call, any aftermarket HID out there wil work as a replacement.

yes I have seen it, a friend had a 94 gsr with factory HID's, that's why I'm telling you it will fit.

I have brightstar HID kit on my jdm headlight and it doesn't comapre to the stock HID my buddy has! remember! it's not how bright the bulbs are, it's the projection of light... OEM HID housing is made to project the beam a lot better than non-HID housing with HID kit! If I had the choice, I say try to fit the OEM HID!

what you said is right, but he's talking about using aftermarket HID's with the OEM HID housing. He wouldn't have the problem of having the projection of light fragmented by the non-hid housing.
