no not without carving out the hole to make it bigger. and the light output will look like crap and blind people. putting hid in halogen projector is not good. theres even a note that says this on your headlight.

here is a comparison for you. i have audi a4 projectors and hid hardware. This is what it looks like:





Now if you buy hid bulb and stuff it in a halogen projector like these TYC, this is what you get. you decide which is better.
