Default Projector Lenses?

Yes I tried a search and got really confused.

I have 6K HID's on my SS and I was looking into projector lenses, BUT I don't want "Halo" style light's. Am I SOL or is there a normal looking project lenses?

You could mount OEM projectors (form a car quipped with HID projectors) inside your stock housings. That's covered in the Lighting FAQ and on HID Planet's Forums.
