I think, unless you do a 98+ front end conversion, you will have to do a retrofit by yourself. The best way to do that (if you would like to keep your front end style) would be to get a pair of the euro clear housings and get creative.

I am planning on doing this myself, but I have clear euro H4 sealed beam conversions to do it. I think it would be more difficult for you unfortunatly.

Its pretty easy, and I'm pretty close to wrapping my retrofit up. You should really have the clear euros for the HIDs you have now. It is just a matter of getting creative!

Tonight with my Philips XP bulbs in my H4 conversion, I passed MULTIPLE cars with HID's (factory and aftermarket) where my lights were brighter, I initially wanted to do projectors, but now, not anymore, why would I when I have more light.

Because I bet you don't actually have 'more' light, but the light you have is more focused into a smaller area. But if you like them, then don't worry about all the hassle of changing it into something you won't like.

Exactly. The projectors refine the pattern of the bulb. HID's were originally made for them, and someone decided to throw them in a halogen housing :P. Proper HID install=Projector retrofit.

Anyway. Better picture. Like I said, not don't still some playing wirh before they're finished.
