I just bought HID's for my civic HB and its blinding people because of the bright beam, so i thought if i bought projector healights it would have a better beam and not blind people. i was wondering if anyone would give there idea about ebay or any kind of projector headlights ,if its worth buying or not. If not then what would you recomend? I dont realy care how they look, I care more about the function.

all of the ebay projector housings i have seen say "NO H.I.D." right on the back of the housing, they would probably melt. they also dont usually have any adjustability.

 

its kind of a little late now...but you should look into retrofitting...just search it and you will find a lot of info....you could sell your hid kit and do a retrofit if you feel up to it

 

melt? really? HID's run cooler than halogen.

You have obviously never grown marijuana...I mean installed HIDs

You use DC powered HID's to grow plants?
Do you just pull up to the plants and turn your lights on?
p.s. I meant to say they draw less voltage

 

I have some chrome housing projector headlights w/ Hids. it has the ds2 bulbs i believe. 4300k or 6000k.
if your interested we can trade

Why would that matter then if we're talking about Melting cheap Ebay Projectors?

 

Draw less voltage? They require 12 volts with a higher amperage per hour rating. They require more energy hence the ballast and capacitor
