so how well would a set of HIDs actually be in the stock lenses?

Or would it just be better off to just go to the sport lenses, then maybe throw HIDs in them if the regular halogens arent good enough?

HID's are goin to be good no matter what you put them in. But they're the best in clear Sprt headlight housings.

i'd show you my pics but it tells me that the size is too big. Any help?

Host the pic on photobucket.com

Anyone have some personal experience using the ebay lenses (projector and non projector) with HIDs?

I have the 6K HID bi-xenon kit in mine, with new stock lenses. Trust me, they're UNBELIEVABLE. You MIGHT be brighter going with the Sport lenses, but these things are unreal. It's hard for me to drive any other vehicle in the dark, after these HID's have spoiled me. My wife's 04 Altima on high doesn't put out half the light.

BTW, there's a local shop close to my house selling factory Chrysler headlight housings for $35ea.. Picked up a set for both of mine for $75 and some change.

Funny story, was making a right turn into a parking lot the other day, front of my 98(lifted 4x4) passed right by an Oldsmobile.. I couldn't tell if she was blinded, or having a heart attack.. Expression = priceless!
