Yeah I really like the look of these headlights, and already have the headlight housings installed and everything, so it looks like I'll stick with these for now and install an HID kit into them. I tried to research before I bought them, but I guess that I overlooked this part before I made the purchase. Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

Hi, I'm a new member here, and have a newbie question:

I bought a set of Spec-D projector headlights, and they came with halogen bulbs already in them (bulb size is H1, which is different from our stock headlight size).  I am interested in purchasing a HID kit for these projectors, but from what I can gather, the HID H1 bulbs are slightly longer than the H1 halogens, and that a tiny amount of adjustment to the bulb socket is needed for the base in order for the base of the HID bulb to fit.

Is this because these particular projectors aren't made to handle HID lights, and since the bulb is longer, would it affect the light output pattern or melt the housing anything like that? Any input on this subject would be a great help.  Thanks.
