Hey guys, i was at my friends shop and i was talking to him about HID's and how i couldn't put them on my car and then he introduced me to these headlights. They have a projector, and he said i can pop the bulb out and put HID's in it. What do you guys think about these? I put a LED in the engine bay and the interior lamp in between the seats. I have the Sylvania headlamp on the left and the projector on the right.

That light line and shield is to limit the glare (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) encountered by an oncoming motorist. that is why you should NEVER install HIDs in a normal non-projection housing.


I absolutely agree. Aim all day long and it doesn't change the simple fact that normal headlight housings create too wide a spread to contain the increased glare from HID's. You can even get tickets for installing HID's in incorrect housings (as well as using overpowered and non-DOT approved bulbs). Nothing worse than a tall F150 or Blazer running HIDs right at eye level. Be it oncoming or tailgating traffic, that is a recipe for night blindness.

So for those of you who swear that you have aimed your HID conversion perfectly... Thank you for blinding me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/alfred.gif)
