Concerns with HID retrofit

[brian11to1]

I plan on retro fitting s2k or tsx projectors into my stock headlights on my 97 civic.


which projector will fit best?
will i need to paint the housing black to help with light output?
which kit do I buy as far as ballasts/bulbs etc. A plug and play kit for the Civic or a plug and play kit for the car the projectors came out of?

theres real good write up on that very headlight somewhere in here,. but the tsx is what they used and they look great

I bought a set of e46 projectors with a mod express HID kit for $210 off a guy on HIDplanet... and a spare set of headlights from someone local... so we'll see how the project goes.
