You already have projectors on the 06-08, what do you need to retrofit?

Well from what I think there's no way 06-08 Pilot came with standard HID like TSX/S2000/FXR therefore its projector is designed for halogen bulb not HID bulb, and the cut off is not that great with HID, and it'll have a bit of glare... fix me if i'm wrong, since I'm new with Pilot, I tried searched the forum for some pix of 06-08 with HID and review how it looks, I saw only one pix so far couldn't make a real judgement if it's enough light I need. Thanks...

Absolutely and unequivocally false. Projectors produce no glare and have a sharp cutoff. Most, if not all, factory projector housings make excellent candidates for aftermarket HID kits.

Additionally, I have yet to discover if any aftermarket HID kits are producing bad glare on halogen-fitted projectors. I already came across and asked over 30 people who has halogens on their OEM projectors had installed aftermarket HID kits with great success. A few of them were even 06-08 Pilots and they are very happy with their conversions. Even my folks who live overseas has an Isuzu D-Max with stock projector headlamps were converted to HIDs with no issues.
