Lighting characteristics of HID vs. halogen are completely different. For the same reason you don't put HID bulbs in halogen housings, you don't run HID projectors with fluted lenses. Here is a picture with the same HID projector behind a fluted and a non-fluted lense for comparison:

Is that sorta good or sorta bad?LX_Sedan wrote: I saw those projectors at theretrofitsource.com Did you get them there?
They are the same ones that they sell at theretrofitsource but I actually picked them up on ebay here:

The headlights also came from ebay. They are TYC headlights. The projectors don't do well with the stock fluted lense headlights, you need a clear lense like these:

I used digital AC output ballasts with HID bulbs. Don't waste your time with the cheap DC ballasts on ebay because they aren't consistent and flicker.
