HID's in stock housing FTMFW! I don't think it looks ricer at all. So many people do it and if they aim them correctly, they really aren't as "ricer/blinding" as you think.

How about all the people with trucks who's lights go right into your eyes driving down the street because you're in a car?

Put HID's in whatever housing you want... People aren't going to buy projectors JUST so that they can have HID's... That's a joke (although it's the best way to provide maximum lighting without putting other drivers in the spot light)

I don't think it looks ricer at all. How would it look ricer? My HIDs in stock housing look fine and the light doesn't "leak" out of the housing when they're on. They look focused and they're aimed nicely. I've only been flashed at once and it was a Prius driver, lol.

Everyone is different, I'd be the first person to call something ricer if it was, but I think the smoked projector housings look much better than my stock foggy headlights I had. To each their own tho!

Oh lol. I have yet to see a good looking projector setup for these cars. All the ones I've been able to find have 4 projectors in each housing with LEDs and halo rings ricing it up.

The ones I got from American Muscle aren't bad, I'll have to upload a picture. They aren't those obnoxious ones with the halos and protruding housings. They look like the stock smoked reflector housings, but they just have a projector housing, and with them being smoked, you can't really see them. They are the only ones that I liked myself without it looking ricer, but who knows, some people are just more purist I guess. I found these to be a great balance of funtion and looks. Much better than the stock headlight housings for my H.I.D.'s.
