Yeah, I wouldn't get any aftermarket projectors, most of them are poor fitting and from what I hear the light is terrible.
And as far as the lightning lights go, they scatter with HID's like any other non projector does since they aren't meant for them.
If you want a lot of useful light from them I would just recommend getting some Sylvania Silverstar Ultra bulbs. They are brighter than some HID's in the stock housing, the put out a nice white light, and you retain your high and low beams.

But if you're dead set on HID's the best way to go is a projector retrofit. I Retro'd my Lighting lights and I love them. Great light and they look and fit better than any aftermarket projector made for these trucks.

With the projectors I used there was no cutting, so it was about a 6/10 the first time. Now that i know how it'd be a 3 or 4. The kit which includes everything you need was about $270 with free shipping
