Does anyone have any pictures of the headlight housing/ design? The PDM site only has the one picture with the lights on which makes it impossible to tell.

I'm asking this because I'm thinking of installing some hid's in the future since I can get a set fairly cheap. I also want to know what kind of pattern and cutoff the housings will produce with hid's installed. I don't want to blind people.

I've searched the forums already, but I didn't find any answers.

You should check out the New Headlights thread, maybe you can get a better idea of what you have to do. But to answer your question, you cannot use a halogen housing with HID. The refletor is not made right for HIDs therefore you WILL glare oncoming traffic. Your best bet with HID is to buy OEM HID projectors and retrofit them for whatever your doing. I.E. if its a pop-up S13 mount them like the clearcorners.com in-house conversion, if its a Zenki S14 mount the projectors right into the headlight housing.
