How come these lights cannot be used with HIDs?

Where does it say they can't?

Ive seen it before where they have it for sale saying "does not accept HID Bulbs". I have asked sellers that sell them and they tell me no I cannot use HIDs with these lights.

Probably because the projector is not worth a shit....

Your best option would be to do a retrofit.

Don't people use projectors with HIDs all the time?

Yes. Just like Car Audio....there are shitty brands and good brands. Those are shitty. Like I said earlier your best bet would be doing a retrofit.

You think I should just get those halo eyes and run them with some blue headlights (fake HID) and just put some 8500K HIDs for the foglights? I want some nice headlights that look good during the day but also give off a nice color at night.

More then likely those projector headlights would have less of an output then your current setup. I would look into some PIAA or Eurolights if you are wanting more output with more of a whiter color. I would also say the Sylvania Silverstars, some say they are good, some say they are bad. I have had mine for over a year and I am very happy with them so far.

x2 on the sylvania bulbs. They dont have the cheesy blue that you see in cheap bulbs and they're pretty bright too.
