simple HID question

i know that this might be a stupid question to ask, but i was wondering could i install HIDs in the stock projectors???

i want the HIDs but without having to spend more money on aftermarket projectors.

and one more question, do you just tap into the wire that goes to the stock headlight or do you have to run all new wires???

thanks for your help

haha, hids can be put into any headlight as long as you know what size bulb it takes...

Most kits are plug and play so, you shouldnt tap into anything

we dont have projectors stock. if you're talking about aftermarket projector headlights, then yes, it's possible to install HID bulbs into the projector headlights, but why would you do that? You'll have incredibly bright hot spots and a less than ideal light pattern. you'd be better off sticking to stock headlights or stock headlights with d2r+casper shield.
