yea i know of only one other person in the world that has a 02-05 ram that has OEM Infinity projectors, anyways a projector is not the ones that have halos around them and you see on ebay, those are halogen projectors, the true projectors are the ones they take out of porsches, lexus, acura, etc, and them "retro fit them" into stock halogen housing. many say it is the "proper way" to use "HID's" but all the projector stuff is for a forum all of its own. and me having this POS ram makes it 20 times harder.... 
and more expensive...
and more expensive...

really hope this thread can help you guys. Ur making the road more dangerous than it already is by adding a HID kit to your car. so please do HID the right way by doing a retrofit.
HID kits are illegal due to the glare that they cause. Glare is Light that is emitted in a Uncontrollable path. When light is traveling in a uncontrollable path it can hit other vehicle operators affecting there vision because of the High amount of uncontrollable light that is being Emitted from a HID kit in a standard Halogen housing. If you have ever turned a flashlight on right in front of your face while it is dark out, that is the same feeling that the other drivers on the road experience from a standard HID kit.
OEM Vehicles such as Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Lexus are all equipped with HID or Xenon Headlights. Some use reflector housing’s without projectors. Others use HID projectors.
The Lexus IS300 is a Prime Example of a HID reflector housing. It does not use a Projector. It uses a Specially designed Reflector housing that is meant to use HID. This does not create the Super sharp cutoff. But it does control where the light is being Emitted.
Other vehicles such as the Honda S2000 Use HID projectors, These Projectors are meant to use HID. They are Specially Designed and have been tested Hundreds of times to get the right projection of light while maintaining a Good Cutoff.
Here are pictures of Halogen housings mated with a HID kit
those are not my words, i could care less about saftey but i want to maximize my light output lol... a projector will make it look like that
and i want that
