Default projectors and HID......

i was wanting to know if running a hid kit with these headlights would be ok? People are saying that they make to much of a glare and that the headlight unit itself cant withstand the heat. So is my only option of running a hid kit is to reinstall my factory headlights and run hid in them?

those headlights arnt real projectors. and they are ugly IMO.

If you want hids, id put them in your stock tc headlights. or you can do a retrofit of the stock headlights, which can be very complicated, and i doubt you would know how to do it.

overall... dont get the cheap ebay lights, and just put hid's in the stock lights

Those headlights are just plain bad. I'd be more worried about them leaking and ruining your HIDs than the HIDs melting those junkers. Use your stocks.

you can use those, but they need to be modified to work right. look up a guy on here named pollup, he had a set that were awesome. good cutoff and everything, and they looked good.
