Considering HID's

I'm considering upgrading to HID's and was wondering what the best way to go is. Should i retrofit projectors or just use the stock lenses. Is just a direct plug in kit good enough?

If you want to do it the best way and the correct way then go the route of retrofit projectors. That way, you'll have a better cutoff than what you would have with the PnP kits. Projectors won't blind your fellow drivers unlike the PnP kits either.

I thank you for considering retrofitting.
I cant stand the guys that put HIDs in their 92 civic or whatever and then proceed to blind everyone.

They do it in their Corollas and Prizms, too. Equally blinding, whether it's a '92 Civic or a '98 Prizm. Why anyone defends the practice of throwing in a such a kit is beyond me.
