I had a retrofit in my old 2g. I used the Tsx projectors, not the best choice but I was on a budget. The light output was greatly increased over the stock and HID in stock housing. It wasn't too hard to do and only took about a day. I don't think they looked ricer, I dont have any clear pictures of just them. But heres what I have.
It's a really bad picture of the output as the car was really close to the wall. I'll post better ones when I get home.
