    Putting in a projector housing, what HIDs do I need

    Hi guys, I just ordered this http://www.ebay.com/itm/301088807669 and I want to put in HIDs for both high and low beams. It says H1 AND H7 for the bulbs which means I would need 4 ballasts?

    Thanks for the help guys

    Should have put that 163 towards a pair of jdm lights, cleaner and better output even with hids.

    When you get them you'll see what I mean.

    I'm not sure, since a lot of those lights are slightly different, but I remember reading in an older thread that HID bulbs are usually too long to fit securely in those projector heads. I could be wrong. Keith has a set on his DD Galant, maybe he can tell you if there are any fitment issues with the newer HID kits.

    It can be done Greg. But like you and I know, ebay projectors aren't designed very well, there will be hot/dark spots and the output will be terrible at best.

    ^True. The output will not justify the price. JDM heads or retro, your only quality options.

    I agree, I got a set and now wish I would have just got some JDM heads to begin with.
