Emilgevor do you have HIDs in your halos? If so, how are they? I've heard mixed reviews about doing that. I want to do the same if it won't melt my head lights..

I just have my halos wired to the parking lights. I'm thinking about just unplugging them but whatever. So the HIDs and the head lights have been working perfectly fine? No signs of melting? Does the beam look right? Just wondering because the HID bulbs are longer than normal bulbs and would be closer to the lens. You recommend this set up? If so I'll be purchasing some HIDs for mine. Sorry for so many questions.

Post pictures? And you're sure there are no signs of too high of a temperature (heat not kelvin) for the headlight housings or anything? It says NO HID on the headlights themselves.

Umm... well, HIDs are kinda SUPPOSED to be in projectors, dude. Anyone who puts HIDs in a reflector-style headlamp is a bastard and deseres to get flipped off all the time at night by oncoming traffic.

Flip Ive have my HIDs in the prefacelift headlights for 2 weeks after i got them and not a single car ever flashed me. I drive a lot at night so i dont know what you talking about. Beam does spread rather than concentrated on the road more but not bad enough to hurt oncoming cars. If someones does then there is something wrong with the leveling of the lights to begin with. ALEDELIC i say if you cant get the projectors now go ahead and install your HID into PREfacelift. You will love the difference and if anyone flashes you then adjust them lower

ohh and Flip take Prius for example they come stock with factory HID and guess what there are no projectors on it just a reflective chrome housing and it looks great. How about new civics or new accords or new scions yup all reflective
