HID for halo projector?

[Kyo]

Is there someone using HID for his aftermarket halo projector?
There is sticker saying that don't use HID.. Is it because of lenght of bulb or temprature?

Both. First, horrible glare and you will blind the piss out of everyone (focal point of HID bulb is different from halogen). 2nd is the UV rays in the cheap chinese kits will absolutely ruin the vapor-deposited aluminum bowl. and third is the heat. Just do a proper retrofit if you want HIDs

Ok thanks for advise

If you want to do a proper retrofit first go to hid planet.com and read, read, read. Then go to the retrofit source.com and buy buy buy! Lol

Yep, that is a-ok. Although they don't last as long and aren't as bright as regular bulbs

[mralx152]

they clame to be brighter and last longer?
false advertising?

Yes totally. The life isn't much shorter sometimes, but it is shorter. And the bulbs are brighter if you get higher wattage bulbs. But those last much shorter than normal bulbs.

If u get the blur coated halogen bulb get it from pepboys 4.99 a bulb with the fog light bulbs. Its both with the regular car bulbs. or you can get the set for 29.99. They are with the regular bulbs. They are the same exact bulb $8 for a set or 30? Or eBay. But I found out the hard way that the cgineeae people on there don't make the bulb correctly and the actuallylonger and thar effects the light discharge so don't get then. They run about 11 a set. UT like he said. The lifespan is crap I bought my halo projectors in March ran them with the.regular halogen bulb till I found some blue coated ones that worked and got them about may. I had one burn out 3 days ago. I switched BA j to the regular clear/yellow. Drastic light out outburst I misstge pure withe look. Its really not worth the. Bulb to get the blue coated. Its really not that. Brighter.
