I just installed my 8000K HIDs and they look about the same...just waiting for nighttime to really see how they'll look.

Well, that's not the right way of doing things, and there are certainly some negative repercussions. But if that's all you can afford, then just live with it for now. I don't think the glare from 8000K can hurt much either. They're not that bright. What you don't want to do is to get 4300K in the stock. That would blind people good. Your car looks good btw.

Thanks Noodle, any ideas of what i should do to it next? Will my Kit go to waste when getting Projectors? And also how much would i be willing to spend to upgrade to Projectors?

You can actually use your aftermarket kit for a retrofited headlights. You have 2 choices,

1) buy something like this in D2S or whatever you need:

2) buy this and use OEM phillip bulbs:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/D2S-D...spagenameZWDVW

I recommend option 2. Some people might say that aftermarket ballasts will give you different outputs. I tried both OEM ballasts and aftermarket ballasts will the option 2 purchase, and they are the same. I have McCulloch ballasts. Option 1 will probably give you different output because the bulbs are aftermarket. So, it's up to you.

If you want to put a projectors in your headlamps, you'll have to look around ebay for Xenon projectors and xenon shrouds, the prices varies. It might requires some "know how" to do a retrofit too. I did my first one and made some mistakes. I am doing my second now and things are going fine. Most importantly, you need a head to scratch and a brain to think.
