In general a HID projector with a HID bulb will light better.
Basically thinkng about doing the full HID mod including projector, and just wondering if this kit will work well with either the HELLA projector or one of the other ones. And also include what I need for the HID part.

True, very true. Are the H7 lights you sell though rebased HID's? The Hella Projector which seems a lot of people are using for the custom mod is H7 plug-in. I think it is just a regular halogen projector, but has worked very well for HID with no glare.

And if you are talking about the same Hella's that most people on here are using they take the H9 bulbs.

D1R, D1S, D1C, D2R, D2S, D2R are normal HID capsules, the rest are re-based to fit in place of a Halogen bulb. The 3rd letter in the HID capsule designation denotes the type of housing for which it is intended.
S = HID Capsule for a Projector housing
R = HID capsule for a Reflector housing
c = ?.
Example: D2S capsule is for a projector housing, D2R is for a reflector housing.

Here is a thread on the subject:

Here is a sticky on projectors and head light upgrades in general:

If we want the D2S bulbs, just put that in the special request area?
I am going to do a TSX Projector retrofit on the TA. No need for sealed beam.
And will the wiring be set up for the TA fi I order the non sealed kit? I heard there is some issues with start up flare (or large load on the electrical system at first which requires some sort of control box or something to control the power spike)
