NO, do not listen to tedmond. by just buying an HID kit and installing it w/o a retrofit, you end up with a lot of glare. glare=blinding other drivers AND loss of light to the road. although, since you're going from dull halogens to xenon/HID, you won't notice too much, but blinding other drivers is a biggie.

if you want to do it, get projectors from ebay (or junkyard or something). TSX's are the ones people are most ga-ga over, but any will do, doesnt even have to be honda. then pick up either an aftermarket HID Kit, or if you can get a hold of one, the OEM ballast and bulbs. price-wise, I picked up the projectors and bulbs for right about $225 for it all, I got some discounts because of friends, only saved me $25-50 though, shouldn't cost you more than $300 for it all. I also recommend getting a second set of headlights so A) the car can be drivable while you do this mod, and B) so when you go to sell the car, if you do, you can take your HID kit with you to your next car.

here is a good comparison of doing retrofit projectors compared to just putting in an HID kit:



more glare doesn't equal more light. notice how much more light is hitting the road, as well as the clear cut off line.

this is what they look like with the retrofit (not my car, EXRcoupe's):
