Yes I'm saying the Forenza doesn't come with projectors. I believe the Reno does, but they aren't really ment for HIDs.

HIDs will still "work" no problem in halogen reflector housings, but the cutoff won't be good and it will cause some amount of glare (depending on the design of the housing).

See this thread on Aveoclub for some more pics (scroll down):

Some cars are lucky and even regular headlights can take well to HIDs. My reno projectors are much better than I expected. You can see the cut off very well with almost no glare outside of it...it's just not nearly as sharp or direct cutoff

Maybe you could snap a pic of your car parked in front of a garage / wall showing the beam pattern from your HIDs? I'm curious to see how well they stand up against the popular projectors for retrofitting.

I will. I have my HID fogs hooked up to the same switch though so...I'll have to put something infront of the fogs to block the light.

iv seen the pics they look pretty good but the retrofit is much cleaner( also more money). they def work better in the reno projectors
