There is a member, I forgot his name but i'm sure you can do the search, he installed a set of these R8 style headlights and HIDs and the beam were actually jacked up so badly that he had to take it apart and fix it. I haven't seen anyone other than him posted an after picture of installment at night here. GL though.

A few things:
1) you don't have to hook up the little lights. You can have just the Halos, just the lights, both, or none. The wires stick out the back and you can hook them up however you like.
2) The first set use H3 projectors - I had a set. With HID, they were passable, but not great. Beam pattern is very narrow. I sold them later.
3) Second set, as mentioned, has a really wacky cutoff. Disappointing.
4) The only ebay projectors that I know of that have a decent output with HID are the Sonars.

And a couple pics of them on my old Camaro. I miss that car.

I hear you there. the LED rings light up OK at night but if you want them visible during the day, well, forget about that. You could take them apart and get some CCFL halo rings, I've seen the CCFL rings for sale separate on ebay before. Just would have to get a measurement of what the current size is and order that same size.
