Seriously? There is a difference between a halogen housing and an HID housing - projectors are another story and don't impact the difference between the two. You can have projectors that utilize a halogen bulb, and HIDs that don't use projectors, but you can bet all of the OEM non-projector HIDs are in a housing that was designed around the light patterns of the HID bulb, and not a halogen.

So you are swapping over to projectors for your HIDs to get cleaner lines and reduce "scatter" (aka, glare for oncoming drivers and less usable light for yourself), but you don't expect the lighting to actually improve?
