HID + Halo Projectors
There are tons of Retrofitting the HID kits into the TYC projectors. I personally like the halo projectors better, but is it harder to retrofit HID's into these projector headlights?
P.S. I'm a noob when it comes to custom fit stuff, but why is retrofitting so hard? And why doesn't H1 bulbs fit into the projector headlights?

I believe halo projectors use different bulb #s... Check out the headlight lense (It should mention the bulb size). Retrofit = Retrofit, It can be done.

Compared to the actual HID projector, yes id doesn't compare.
But against that ugly H4 Civic Hatch with the fluted lenses with massive glare, yes it is somewhat better. Just cause the TYC's do have a decent cut-off, (except the "bubbles" coming up on the sides)
But the overall pattern is still ugly and discolored, yes it is "brighter than stock or stock projectors"
