4th Generation Replaced Silverstars with HID's...should I use projectors?

Just replaced my Silverstars with a HID kit from VVME the bixenon are 109+shipping = 144 the regular HID(which I should have gotten since the hi-beams sux) were only $60. I also finally polished the yellow off the headlights...now I'm wondering if I should get projectors...but short of making my own it doesn't seem like any aftermarket projectors were made, and I can't track down any JDM gracia headlights.

Any suggestions?

the rebased HID kit in regular halogen headlight yield a lot of glare, HID kit in fluted headlight lense is even worst.

let me promote my retro thread here http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/t204021.html

Definetly get projectors. They're easy enough to do.

Just a little tip. Look for the FX projectors... There was a recall on the headlights a few months ago due to bad aiming i think and they're pretty cheap.

I got 2 pairs for 30 bucks from a friend. Check ebay you should be able to snag a pair for around 50 bucks.
