As far as I am aware there is no difference. If you are doing a retrofit you can pick up a non hid headlight pretty cheap. I got mine for $130 from a member and they were in great shape

you should get a set of halogen lights since they're cheaper compared to hid lights. you'll be modding the projector onto the reflectors so no sense in getting hid reflectors. make sure the outer lenses are clear or you'll some distortion on the output.

what kind of projectors are you going to be using?

Are you talking about before you begin the process and open them up or are you referring to aligning everything while working on it.

Do you also surf www.hidplanet.com/forums
If not, log on to the university section and you'll get all the answers there complete with pics detailing how to calibrate etc

Look for Scurt's thread

Umm it seems like you don't know what your doing, you can read the tread at hidplanet.com but with out experiance you might not get the result your looking for your better of getting someone to do the retro for you. And dont look for scurts thread because it was removed by his request because he got banned for violating forum rules.
