Modern Performance Projectors

How do the Modern Performance Projector headlights look with HIDs in them, glare wise to other drivers... I want HIDs and I am thinking about using them, if not, Im going to paint my orginal housings Victory Red, to match the rest of my car... kinda of like the Corvette and retrofit the projector from an Infinity FX suv so I have HID High AND LOW Beams. Any Ideas?

first off the projectors from mp are the same ones on ebay so you can get them cheaper on ebay. just a though. as far as glare it depends on which ones you are talkin bout. third gen light are the only ones that has any glare and its fixable. second gen usually has a fucked up cutoff line that kinda a check mark. first gen has a really clean cutoff line as do the third gen. there is a how to on fixin the third gen glare. its very simple and easy to do.

first gen are the ones that has the 3 leds and the turn signal on the top. but i know one guy on here has painted his blue to match his car. i'll see if i can find the pics of it.

well i found the pics but you cant tell that they were color matched. they still look black in the pics cuz of the sun light

doin a retro would be the best thing to do if you know how to do that sorta stuff. i noticed you said somethin bout doin it with a high beam projector also which would look great.

its actually one projector, with high and low beams in one... there is a solenoid that moves the cover on it to convert it to high from low beams.
