So look at what I just ordered!
I actually did a setup very much like what Dirty Bird is planning. I used a 3" projector housing off of an E class mercedes and put an 8000K bulb into it. Turned out pretty well. I am working on getting stuff together so that I can actually have documentation of what the process involved.
Here is a picture of the projector I used.
While they aren't meant to be used with HID, they still do a awesome job at spreading the light and making a day and night difference over the stock setup.
I used a lot of what I saw here to put together my own setup.

Here are the 3 main designs.
Ignitor built into ballast. (cleanest design and what you should look for)
Ignitor mounted right behind bulb (bulky and not what you need)
Ignitor mounted seperately in between the ballast and bulb, but connected by wires. (that design will work as well, but it's not very clean)
I think the best is the Audi model 3rd gen. ballast made by Hella in Germany. It has the ignitor built into the ballast for a clean look, has an 14" cable for more ballast mounting locations and most importantly it has an 80* angle on the connector.

I still have the pop-ups. It was tuff getting the 3" projector lens to be able to go up and down with the pop-up and not hit the bumber on the way up and down...
I will try to get pictures later today showing set up and beam pattern.
