Umm, maybe I'm going out on a limb here.... but if you cannot afford to do a retrofit, why don't you save your money instead of buying R34 headlamps with there crappier output than even the stock headlights, and invest in some quality bulbs for your stock headlights, and some plastic polish to clean them up?
You can afford $200 for the headlights, and another $150+ for the HID's, but not another $150 for the projectors? WTF? That makes ZERO sense. If you can't afford to do it right, why do it at all?
OMG, now i haz da HID's! I'm leet yo!

If your hurting for that extra $150 SOOOO bad, that you just can't stand it and MUST put HID's in a non HID housing, then do yourself and those around you a FAVOR!!! SAVE THAT MONEY, PUT IT IN THE BANK, BECAUSE YOUR BROKE *** SHOULDN'T BE SPENDING IT ON WORTHLESS ITEMS FOR THE CAR!
Get your finances in order first, find a better job, do something, because your priorities are ALL screwed up! You probably have 10 other things that need to be fixed on your car, riding on bare tires with shredding belts, but hey, you'll have HID's!
BTW, compare a set of R34's with HID's to a set retrofitted with projectors, and see how they compare in terms of light output and glare.
