Default THOSE WHO HAVE HID's ON FACTORY HEADLIGHTS!!!

Yea... well total bummers today. I was thinking about getting HID's soon with my projector headlights but unfortunately today, when I was re-sealing them, I dropped one it just broke. I was super bummed, but its alright because I got them for 50 bux and they were already in horrible condition. So I've decided to move back to factory cuz nothing beats the quality of FACTORY! Anyways... I would like to see some HID's on factory headlights because I want to see what they would look like against the wall since they aren't projectors. Please please PLEASE help me out and show some pix =) Thanks

Hey dressed2kill, those lights look pretty purple. What color temp did you get 12000k? By the way if you want colored lights go with luminics. If you want HIDs go with HIDs. Luminics are cool looking but not that bright, not even as bright as stock, especially if you get the pure blue which are super dim but very cool looking.

HID's don't well in the stock housings... they need special lenses or projectors to work correctly... DO it right... just don't stick HID bulbs in a stock housing...

HIDs in stock housing can be summed up in one word.

GLARE

For HIDs to work properly you need to use a projector.
