Default Need help w/ projectors + HIDs

i bought aftermarket projector headlights for my 05 tc. they are plug in play. i took out my 9006 low beam bulb just plug in the connection from the projector straight into the 9006 connection. at first my "led eyebrows" went out. now my right side angel eyes went out....is there any way to repair????? also i want to get HIDS is it possible with these plug in play projectors? or should i just instal my factory headlights and get the HID kit? they projectors i bought look like this:[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/ADMINI%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png[/IMG][IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/ADMINI%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.png[/IMG]

all these ebay halo projector headlights burn out. They either burnout the angel eyes, get condensation in them and most of them have a crappy cutoff. Overall they are just a crappy product. Stick with OEM.

You can set up HIDs in them just get the right bulb.

it is possible you just have to get the right bulb size. The factory connection would be a 9006 so you would need that kit but you need to find out what bulbs are in there so you can get the right ones.

honestly, those particular projectors are not that bad looking, in my eyes what really messes it up if those hideous LEDs on the eyebrows

my opinion/what i would do

leave the halos disconnected, leave the LEDs disconnected, buy a bluebat eyebrow overlay, and voila! done

no doubt thats was basically my main point.......the led eyebrows went out so i bought the batmobile overlays already........but now my left halos went out so i can either A. disconnect my right side or B. put my stock 05 headlights back in.......

but i want to get the HIDEXTRA hid kit but not sure how to use it with the plug in play projectors....
