@SIRDANTASTIC i removed my hids because they are to bright for highway driving...maybe ok for slow city driving but nothing over 35... caused my pupils to close up making seeing farther down the road impossible... they must only be used in projectors period....
@SIRDANTASTIC From the research I've done, no. Get the housing for HID lights, not just the bulb. Halogen lights are encased in a reflective housing that's meant to amplify the light emitted. If you put a HID bulb in a halogen housing, the light will be reflected and become BLINDINGLY bright. Oncoming traffic will pretty much think you have your brights on.
H.I.D for the win! Should a person install H.I.D in a non-projector head light?

as i pointed out to sir it depends
Yes projectors are best for HIDs but if you must have a special reflective one made for HIDs.
If your car didn't come with HIDs don't upgrade to them.

Well it depends
The Honda Civic Si FK2(european hatchback) has HID and it doesn't use a projector system, but it has a reflective system that is designed for HIDs.
Plus you also need
Auto Leveling system
Headlight washers

Yeah but you cant use the HIDs highbeams as a turnsignal.
