Default HID housing question

Is there a housing that looks like the stock rectangle light (for a 2002Trans Am) that you can run HID's in?

not without blinding people, the reflector housings aren't deigned for HID, there is the LMC truck housings (do a search) that are the same size and shape of the stock headlights but are a clear glass lens that gives you much better output vs the stock sealed beams and some people choose to stick HID's in there but you WILL BLIND oncoming traffic if you do that, proper HID projectors (which look nothing like stock) require a certain amount of depth to function which can't be achieved at the shallowness of the stock headlight housing.

Yup.

He makes a great housing, and it fits beautifully in our headlights. You won't screw anyone else over, AND you get proper vision.

You get what you pay for!!!

Planning any GPs soon? Perhaps the participants in this thread would like to further such a goal.
