    if they say "wont work with HID" or anything along those lines its because the HID globe wont fit.
    if you file the little bit out like in my write up then it will work.

    mine were advertised saying they wouldnt work with HID...and they are fine with HID.

    but i thought it had something to do with the materials that the projector was made out of....ie angel eyes aren't good because the projector lens is made out of plastic....so how do i tell the difference???

    even ones with plastic lenses are fine.

    people crap on about how "HID runs hotter so it will melt the lense", "HID is hotter so it will melt the housing". etc.
    crock of sh!t.
    HID runs colder than halogen globes.

    so ignore when they say "cant be used with HID".
    they are just saying that the globe wont fit...not the materials arent up to the job.
    just file a little bit out and you can run HID.


    as i said before...mine were advertised as not able to be used with HID.

    they have been in the car for a total of about 4 months now...with the lights on everytime i drive...and they are still in perfect condition.
    i had them out a couple of weeks ago and had a good long look at them...inside and outside...and they are still fine.

    yes, the HIDs have to have the same bulb size as the ones used in ur angel eyes (mine's H3s, dunno about urs, could be H1s)...and yes, u will still have high beam, but u might lose ur low beam when u use high beam due to the H4 relay on the headlights wiring...that's what happens with my angel eyes, though it could be a different case on other brands of angel eyes...also, just for a lil advice, don't even think of using HIDs for ur high beam, cos:

    1. it can be really blinding
    2. it takes some time for the HID to charge up
    3. u seldom use high beams and if u do, u only use them for short periods. it's recommended that HIDs are not to be lit up for short periods of time too often or it will shorten the life (i have done that accidentally), which in turn is a waste of money.

    important note: don't forget to lower ur beam direction so u don't blind oncoming traffic cos HIDs (as most people say) can do that...

    i've been using HIDs on my angel eyes for over 2 years, not a single problem with cops even when the cutoff is actually for LHD...

    hope that helps
