So i just bought a set of headlights and found out AFTER that ou can't put HID lights in them!!![:@]So my question is what happens if you do, and why wouldn't you be able to? Thanks.

You can install HID bulbs and ballasts in them but since you don't have the proper reflector or projector the light will scatter all over the place vs being focused on the road and you'll blind oncoming traffic.

I'm sure you have encountered this a few times already when driving.

 

Ok, so it's not like it will ruin the light or anything, it's just that I will blind people. Is there any way of fixing that?

Only way to fix the problem is to get proper headlight housings made for HID bulbs.

I advise not to put HID bulbs in a halogen housing. You've seen the crap results on the street cursing at the oncoming car the is blinding you wondering WTF is going on... well don't be that guy.

And you can get a ticket for that if you are outputting to much glare and are becoming a hazard to oncoming drivers.

 

What headlights did you buy? OEM B6 halogen projectors (H7s) will take D1S xenons, or D2S with an adapter. I believe the B5s used D2S stock. I put OEM HIDs in my car into my stock Valeo housings and they work great. The projector cutoff line is sharp.

 

I have a 99.5, so I have the projector headlights. can I put HID's in my car?

 

belligerence yah you can, i just got the kit from visionbulbs for 200 and they look great!!!! BTW, the bulbs are h7

 

awesome bro, thanks. that's the answer I was hoping for. HID's are 2nd on my list after chip, and I hope to be chipped sometime this spring/early summer. so maybe HID's in late summer/early fall.

where's the pics of your new lights?

 

I will be installing them tomorrow. i will take pics of them once they are in.

since we r on the subject of head light could i buy HIDe-codes from lltek.com and put in my stock bulbs without getting the HID kit i mean like halogens back into the e-codes?
