Default For those who haven't changed to HID's

Here's a vid of Fiance's nephew Silvy and mine (on the right) newly installed low HID's. I have had the need to use the Hellas.

I understand you can't run HID's with projector's right? That would be cool but I'm running projector's and their lighting sucks.

Your projectors more than likely use an H4 bulb, they have an HID conversion for H4's.

HIDs are meant to work in projectors Spoolin, that's how you get the best cutoff, but the projects in those lights are designed for HIDs so you could run them and be brighter but to get the maximum light cutoff and output, you would retrofit a HID project in your housing.
