First h1ck, you have projector housings, not sure if you have hid's or not as this refers to the bulbs not the housings, and darkpony try ddm tuning, also when you install the hid's make sure you adjust your lights down a bit as it will have much more upward glare, projectors like h1ck has will fix this issue and will provide a better pattern.

In short, the round part you are talking about h1ck is your housings, hid's refer to the type of bulb in the lights. They are kinda like a flourescent bulb, they have a ballast and have to warm up when you first turn them on.

That is a projector, it refers to the style of te housing that the bulb goes in, hid stands for high intensity discharge and refers to a type of bulb, so it's projector versus halogen HOUSINGS, and hid versus halogen BULBS. You can use a halogen bulb in a projector but it is usually frowned upon to use an hid in a halogen housing as it causes excess glare for oncoming traffic.

First ypu need to find a housing like h1ck has, then find out what kind of bulb it uses and order an hid kit from ddm tuning that has an hid bulb that will fit the housing.

How about the smoked fog lights on americanmuscle.com? Those bright enough?
