projector / hids?
as a SC owner what are my options for HIDs?
do I need to find a BMW/AUDI to swap out for projecto HIDs?
Is there anyway I can retro fit LS / IS / GS hids into the SC??

I'd definitely suggest swapping out that halogen projector for a real xenon. Its not just BMW and Audi but any of the cars with projectors now a days you should look at. The key is to find a projector with the same demensions as your halogen or very close to it so that the retrofit is easy. An hid kit in your current halogens would suck with tons of glare, the output and the cutoff both would come up short also.
The current GS IS are reflectice HID systems which cannont be retrofitted into your SC. Well wait it can be done but its a pain in the *ss cutting the reflector to fit the SC when you can just take the halogen projector and swap it with a xenon. The 04, 05 LS and 05 ES now use projectors. The LS is the brightest projector out there today because it uses a projector/reflector combination. The projector leaks light from the bottom through a hole into the reflector part and shoots light off to the sides and front. This is in addition to the light coming from the projector itself making it the brightest setup out there.

is it possible to retro fit the LS projector into the SC?
