Projectors and HIDs do not go hand in hand. Ill be happy to back this up with pics, however you wont see much until tonight.
99-01 acura cl's  ...were not all designed for the HID's...it was an option...ive seen both the halogen and HID up close.
there are tons of cars, that dont. if u aim them properly it will be good. all this it must be a projector is bs..
True, it does not have to be a projector, but if you actually read the article (I'll bet you didn't, since it's a different point of view than your own), you'll learn that HID and non-HID reflectors are NOT the same, even on a car that has optional HIDs.
You will also read that the only proper way to retrofit HIDs is to use the entire HID setup (lens/reflector/lamp)... Easy way of doing that is with a set of HID projectors.
Everything else is illegal and dangerous!
Quiz for those who think they know HIDs:
What was the first American car with standard HIDs? Hint, it's one generation after the first American car with "European style" composite headlights...
