so the valve cover gasket could cause it to be so greasy? Ive never removed the engine cover. i might just have to do that to see whats really going on.

It depends on the projector. Some can accept a hid bulb with minor adjustment to the shield to cure the stray light (aka glare) problems. Unfortunately the proper path (which would be a projector swap) involves opening the housing...and it ain't no easy task if done neatly.
