They don't make projector housings for the 93-97 TA's. They have to be a retrofit design....and even that is very involved and difficult.
What color temp, conversion housings, and kit did you go with? Make sure the adapters for the plug ends are long enough.
Get some cutoff pics as well. I'm curious to see how they compare to my housings. Always looking to go better. You will love the HIDs

 I think so.
It has new head lights, ballasts, ignitors, wires, etc. All the needed parts are there.
Sooooo can't wait!

I got him the regular diamond cut reflector housing for now....just to see how they fit and in case we have to make modifications somehow....I'm gonna get him the projector housing at a later date once we install everything. the HID kit has a halogen high beam as well so it's decent. And i wanted maximum light output...not those blue 12000K which are dimmer significantly

Not necessarily. Granted reflector housings do not perform as good as quality projectors, some have fairly decent optics. Ask me how I know.

Hey Brian, what did you do to convert the original wiring for the H4666 sealed beam to accept the H4 bulb? Is there an adapter we can buy? or is it just a matter of connecting 3 wires and soldering them?

I picked up an adapter from rallylights.com when I bought my new headlight housings. These guys are located in PA and it's easier to call them and order than go through their website. Shipping was quick too.
Only mild PIA was I had to extend the adapter harness wires because the one end of the connector would get in the way when the headlight housing was closing. Not hard to extend 3 wires per harness but it wasn't just that easy lol.

First pic is close to the wall. Aside from the hotspots its controlled fairly well.
Farther out shot. They still needed a little needed adjusting after this shot but the only glare you should get would be if your on the side of the road.
Tough to get a shot at night with the HIDs with the simple camera but there you go. Not as good as projectors but not half bad either.

Here's what HID's should look like in proper housings:
No hotspots, sharp cutoff. Very different from HID bulbs in a halogen housing.
