Halo Projectors VS HID

ok so i want to get the Halo Projector headlights with the LED's but i also want to get HID's i talk to several distributors and they DO NOT reccomend going with both. they say that the HID are too hot for the Halo projectors to handle and will malfunction after a short period of time. so i am jsut debating. and i would like some assistance...

whoever you talked to is retarded and doesnt know what theyre talking about.
HID's produce less heat than regular halogen bulbs. Buy the projectors, and then w/e HIDs fit them

Probably, but don't start that **** in here. All of these threads just degrade into that argument.
