Halogen headlight options..

So my 09 came stock with the halogen headlights. I understand trying to swap to oem hid projectors is easier said than done, as I'm currently going through this pain in the *** process right now and will probably end up returning them back to the seller. So my question is, what other options is out there that has the projector(low beam)style but fit for halogen model? Aftermarket I'm assuming? I see some on eBay but not getting clear answers from the sellers. Think I saw somewhere on here someone put some Eagle eyes aftermarket brand. Is that the route to take? Thanks

I'd say OEM is out the picture because I recall the mounting points just aren't there (don't quote me though) and you'll have to figure out if you have the AFS stuff or not. You can try drill in projectors like Morimoto Mini H1's, that'll probably be your best bet keeping the OEM housing. Otherwise a hit/miss option would be aftermarket housing with projectors, the kind you find on eBay or similar. Can't be sure on quality but I have had it work on cars in the past, luckily my RX has the AFS HIDs.
