Ebay projector lights tend to have lower quality projectors than you would find on an OEM setup. I used to have an Integra which has factory projectors and most of the guys switching to the ebay ones lost a decent bit of light output (and evenness of the output).

Not saying they won't work, just something to consider.

So basically i would probably be better off with getting smoked factory lenses with HID bulbs then.

IMO, Nightrunner headlights with HID bulbs would look sharp and be the most effective.

I personally think you would unless you were going to retrofit OEM HID projectors from another vehicle into your housings (a lot of work). I can't say 100% without actual testing but that's my opinion on it for all that's worth.

Never had an issue with silverstar bulbs. I use the regular ones and they seem pretty bright to me. Good luck finding ultras in H13s.
