:facepalm this entire post.
all hid’s require a ballast/ignitor.
the projector is there to provide a way of correcting the direction of the light travel so you dont blind people. cars without projectors, like the Prius and a few nissans that have OEM HIDs have a correct cutoff for the light, effectivly doing the same thing. Halogen bulbs are to be used in Halogen housings just like HID type bulbs are supposed to be fitted into an HID housing.
engineers design things the way they do for a reason. ever wonder why that sweet 88 civic that has HID’s driving towards you is hurting your eyes???
well its because of those awesome aftermarket HIDs in stock housings without a cutoff. all it is doing is damaging the Rods and Cones in your eyes. whilst not providing adequate light for driving in mose cases because its so scattered.
