Exclamation HID Halo Projector Headlights Problems

hey i have a friend that works at this shop about autos and he installed my hid lights and i told him that i was gonna buy the projectors off ebay, so then he told me to becareful because not all hid bulbs fit in the socket and the halo projectors come in so i was wondering if anyone had this problem or heard about it.
i have the H7 type bulbs and he told me that they would not fit and probably will only fit H1 or H2 bulbs and not any bigger than that so if someone wanted to put H12 they definitely wouldn't be able to, come someone help me on this one.

They take H1 bulbs, and HID's can fit, but you'd have to modify the projector housing to get it to work...probably not worth the time.

i have the halo projectors with HID's yes they are H1's i had to do some work with the housing probably took a whole 3 mins to make the bulbs fit.. all you need is a drill, just make a bigger hole to fit the bulb you need. it honestly took 30 mins to do the full install ... PM me if you have any questions

thats exactly what i'm saying though if your gonna pay almost $300 for a set of projectors and then the fitments are not right is not worth it cause i have H7 hids but can you imagine someone that has H13 that **** is not gonna fit in their and how big will you have to make the whole in order for the bulb to fit
