I know many people out there have done it, but I still want to give out an honest advice.... putting a "HID kit" in a projector or housing that is originally designed for halogen bulb is a bad idea. If you look closely on the same car model, but one with OEM HID, one with OEM halogen, you can easily see that the projectors are different.
If you want to do it right, you really need a retrofit with shroud to confine the light and to give a clean cutoff. Otherwise it would have a lot of glare, and that glare is what blinding the on-coming traffic and create blurry visibility to yourself. It's a safety issue.

They worked on one of my cars and the result is fantastic.

Well I can tell you that I have seen several pictures of aftermarket HID's on the 2IS and the beam pattern does not look like they do on my IS with OEM HID's or other pics I've seen of OEM HID's. I've only seen one aftermarket install that actually looked pretty darn close to the OEM's.
