So aside from building projectors, there are no projector kits for the CL. So if you are using HIDs, how does it look without projectors? I have NOKYA 7000K, 100W, Arctic White. I like the way they look. But HIDs are HHHHHHOT!

HID's are very hot though, want to get them so bad.

HID's are definitly sweet. the vision difference is noticable but it attracts the wrong attention sometimes. i had HID's installed in my first gen and someone decided they wanted to steal them.. so they crowbar'ed my front end and popped my headlights out... which isn't the way they shoudl have done things.. ended up costing me $3000 to fix everything, with no HID's replaced.. insurance covered it, but still $200 out my pocket for the deductable, and out $400 for HID's.. dont' let my story stop you, just be aware of where you park.

I have HIDs (5000k) and I love them. I don't have projectors, and I will say that my beam pattern looks like crap. I'd much rather have projectors. Luckily I'm not blinding people - but its still embarrassing. I'm not interested in all the effort for doing the projectors, but I will say that they look so much better
