    you dont need a hid kit with projectors.

    but for a silver car, id say either black housed or clear corners. dont have projectors on a silver car, it looks wierd.

    I had them all and painted stokcers is the best way to go. I had the projectors with HIDs and although the light output was good and better than stock, the bouncing and beam crossing can only be tolerated for so long. I ended up painting the my OEM lights black like the ebay lights and just getting the black depo corners on ebay. The ebay black headlights have a much smaller chrome reflector than DIY painted lights.
