You'd at least want something that looks like this:

And even then you should still use a projector setup:

- Sat Jan 09, 2016 12:00 am #358077 Like mentioned Hid in stock housings will blind the crap out of on-coming traffic. You are just going to piss people off and have them high beam you right back. Invest in some projector headlights and do it right.

Buy these eBay headlights:

Take a heat gun (or carefully use an oven) to heat up your OEM headlight and remove the fluted glass front housing. Install the projector retrofit. Use the same method to remove the clear glass front housing from the eBay headlights and use a new adhesive to reinstall the clear housing from the eBay headlight onto your OEM housings. The other option is to spend a TON of time wetsanding the glass to remove the flutes from the OEM lens. If you don't mind the look of the eBay "JDM" headlights you can even use them with the retrofit projector kit installed. I just don't like the eBay housings because the adjuster mechanism in them is junk and you can never aim them correctly, but the clear glass has always fit right onto OEM housings for me.


Link to a DIY where someone installed this retrofit kit into the eBay housings. The light from these is beautiful looks like it came installed from the factory and you won't blind people.
