if price doesnt seem to be an issue i would def go with the projectors, because if you want to upgrade to HID's in the future youll need these. I seem to find people using HIDs without the projector lens' and you just end up causing more harm to on coming traffic by blinding them. Atleast the projector projects the beam in a straighter more confind spot, opposed to your normal headlight would just fire the beam all over the place...causing some angry oncoming traffic lol

Has anyone bought those for the 93 to 97 styled front end and if so can the projector part be used for driving lights?

My 94 has side turn signals so I'm sure that the projector part is or can be made to fit driving light bulbs which means I should be able to HID it and if not then a set of PIAA's will work just fine.

Like my generation, the turn signal is in a different housing than the headlight. The "projector" portion of your headlight is indeed a second headlight with a different beam pattern.
See?
However, please note that the intense heat generated by HID bulbs will most likely melt the projector housing. I'd be willing to bet when you get those they will have a specific warning sticker for this reason. You'd be better off getting a set of PIAA or Silverstar bulbs for the projector housings.

You should pay attention to the year in question. Your year has a turn signal integrated into the headlight housing from the factory, UNLIKE a 1994, which is a separate housing.

A hid is like a Floresent light ficture or your screw in floresent witch dont get very hot the halogens that i had that were PIAA's melted my light socket with Upgraded Harness from summitracing.com
you can look up the lest that he did it is i think 25* less then a standard halogen bulb.

Here is the full test the pics are not there but you can read the outcome
the temps at 45mins for both halogen and HID:
Halogen = 125*
HID = 104*

buy the way i understand that his truck is a 94'. u can clearly see i had just for got. and if u paid attention u would have noticed that i had a 96'. his truck and mine fell into the same exterior generation. (93'-97' interior changed for 95'-03')

you can have the projectors on and just your runing lights on at night to drive in the dark or have both your choice.
they also make other housings that have a larger Projector in them for better light if you want to use the projector full time.
