I'm running bi-xenons with 5000k bulbs and 35 watt ballasts.
I retrofitted a pair of Morimoto Mini D2S bi-xenon proejectors in my ebay H4 housings. I also have a pair of appolo shrouds and angel eyes that go around the projectors.
Here's a link to the projectors I'm running:

how do you like your Morimoto Mini D2S? do they throw down the road well?
i was going to do the FX-R setup with Morimoto 3-five.. but i walked away from the hids.... and now.
i might just do one more setup ;]

The FX-Rs are cool but take a lot more work to retrofit as they are larger. Just do the mini's, they have the same amount of light output and they come with a clear lens.
Here's a pic of what mine look like at night

Those aren't true projectors however. I had those housings and then retrofitted them with real projectors.

Another option if you want better lighting but don't want to deal with HID ballasts, projectors and the like is picking up a set of high quality H4 conversion lamps and bulbs. As a person who's done HID the wrong way (without projectors) I can personally attest to the dramaticaly better quality of headlight beam over cheap HID or stock sealed beam lamps. I personally did the swap to IPF's H4 lamps and fatboy bulbs and found the difference to be immediate and positive with a super sharp cutoff and a great wide beam. It works even better if you buy their wiring harness, but I ran it through my stock wires for a few months without issue.
