You can try and retro fit your housings now to a projector. Dont be fooled by the "projector" lights on ebay and stuff. If it doesnt have a sphere over the hid it isnt a projector. Even real aftermarket projectors arent that great though. They are very hard to aim and you usually end up blinding everyone else on the road.

I have HID's in my 05 since August of last year. No issues in a stock housing. The kits on eBay are garbage. I recommend retro fitting but like I said I have had no issues with ppl flashing me or cops bothering me. PM me if you want more info about it or purchase a kit.

check out ddmtuning.com my buddy has an 04 lancer with a hid kit from them and it looked good so I put em in mine. very affordable in my opinion and I would say dont buy from ebay. I've got a 2000 ranger I converted to front end to a 01-03 and I got aftermarket projector lights for it (from ebay) and the hid kit it came with blew out before it turned on for the first time so I had to trash em. the lights look good but the hids form ebay werent worth a penny.

also to find out which one you need just take out the existing bulb and look at the base of it and just match it to a bulb on their site and pick a color :) The hid bulbs go by names like h1 h2 h3 h4 etc. and for all I have noticed, the only difference is how it fits in the socket.

the bulbs are also different lengths. a h3 bulb is significantly shorter than the 9007 type that a ranger takes.
