Retrofitting vs plug n play HIDs

I know I sound real stupid asking this, but why not just get a plug n play kit rather than doing so much more retrofitting? is the quality better? is that why?

If you mean light output and beam pattern when you say "quality", then yes...it's better to go with a retrofit than just plug n play. I don't think there's a single person out there (who's done this) that'll disagree.

There is no kit that will provide lighting like a retrofit. The factory projectors were not made for HID bulb so it will not control the light correctly.
