HID Kits in the stock halogen headlights will improve visiabilty. But at a price. It creates lots and lots of glare.
The first picture is my old set up. HID Kit in the stock headlights, notice the two patterns of beam right above cut off. Those would light up overhead signs on the freeway from like 300ft out(thats not a good thing lol)
You could put HID's in the projector headlights you mentioned, but again. There desined for halogen lights so the results will be better but still not perfect. 2nd pic is an example of HID projectors vs Halogen projectors with HID bulbs.

I had these headlights a little while back and the light quality wasn't great as already stated. I currently have smoked OEM clear corner headlights and I put HIDs in. I have ddm tuning HIDs in my headlights and fog lights and they work really well. http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/DD...ast-35W-or-55W

@ Onesik: If you look at the sites they usually have a drop down box for bulb type replacement. If you have H1 bulbs then you get the H1 Hid replacements....If you do a google search and hit up the websites of vendors there is alot of information there. Also there are many threads out there as well, Just remember google loves you and is watching over you like the big brother you never knew you had!
@sean: Did you use the H1 kit? 35W or 55W? What else did you get with it (the options drop downs) or was it just the bulbs and ballasts?

Ahhh man! I haven't been a member for 30 days so I can't view the pics. So what would you reccomend so I can get the best of both worlds, what is the best setup? This is such a tough decision!! haha I don't know anything about HID systems, like what type and where do I get started. Also, if I don't want to go the HID route, then what would you reccomend as the best bulb (a bright, fresh whitish bluish light) for the Raxiom Smoked Halo Projectors? Thanks for all you guys' help, I really appreciate the replies.

Your best bet would be getting a good set of projectors retrofitted into your headlights. There are a few websites that will do that for you, I've heard good things about http://www.theretrofitsource.com/
