hmmm anyone else can confirm that.

I did some research and most of them are h1

[blu3illusion84]

i think

h1 = high beam
h3 = low beam / driving light..

coz i still got the bulbs (h3) from my halo lights that i took out before..

does your bulbs look like this? then that H3 your looking at ..

[blu3illusion84]

and one thing i forgot to mention.. u can check your front headlights then at the bottom they should tell u which bulbs goes in which.. if you look at closely

good luck..

Just take them out and it will be stamped on them. When i had a set of projectors they were both h1's

yes you can, wont damage if installed straight and correctly.

I thought you couldnt install HID and that you would have to get the reflector set up and housing of a car that had HID's. The cutoffs and stuff are alot differnt and you cant shine HID's into peoples eyes!

Edit :- it wont damage your lights as they run cooler and also wont burn out your wiering as they run a lower voltage.

Are you 100% sure
because the headlights has a sticker that says
CAUTION no HID allowed, i don't whats the reason for it

This is what I have been wondering about, can you get HID set up on a set of projector lights, let me know if you go through with it Phuong

So has anyone tried HID kit on the halo headlights?

[destrukshn]

if it says no HIDs
don't do it, because it will melt something.
someone has done it and failed.

WHo?
I hooked up 8000K HID kit for my cousin's bmw. It seems more cooler than his stock lights

[destrukshn]

Sicivic on the forums.
don't think his active anymore.
if it says no HID's on the aftermarket headlights that is.

I'm running 6000K HID's with my projectors(angeleyes), so far there seems to be no problems.

[civic88]

try it phuong1987 and let me know

[blk_shadow]

destrukshn is right, some ppl tried and they melted the lens. if its Japanese made, it should be ok. if its chinese or taiwanese made, its not recommended. you can still try, but in the end if smthg happens, we've tried to remind you.

its not a matter of cooler or hotter. the lens itself is not designed for HID equipped. unless, if you want to change the lens to bmw's or mercs' or 300cs' lenses which came standard with HID.
