why exactly cant you use HID's with these if you get teh proper HID bulbs to replace the ones that came with the kit?

^^^^^^^thats my question. HID is just the bulb what does that have to do with the headlight housing.

IonNinja

technically you could wire up an HID kit I'm sure but a projector lamp made for a halogen bulb would not given an optimal light output.

not all projectors are the same...

celicacobalt

i woudl still ahve to assume it would be brighter than halogen either way

Death Dealer

So overall how much did u spend?

Mercury

Those projectors aren't HID projectors. This is just as bad as HID kits on basic cobalt headlamps.

Like I said before, these projectors in these lamps are cheap plastic crap. Putting an HID bulb in them would be terrible.

Look at this image, this is an OEM Halogen Bosch projector in a cougar with an HID kit.


The result, Terrible glare, terrible hotspots, and no light going anywhere.

I don't even want to know what an HID bulb would look like on those ebay cobalt projectors although I do already have a faint idea.

celicacobalt

please start making replicas of your headlights and sell them to us so we can stop all this madness lol

Death Dealer

no offense to Merc but they really dont do the cobalt justice at all. they look so plan and the orange kills the whole effect. they look all out pf place. Im doing with the black very sexy and just flows with the car

For functionality I think Mercury's headlights are good but for looks they look kinda dumb thats just my opinion. Im am sure someone will put HID in these projectors soon enough and we'll be able to judge for ourselves.

Merc did the best job that he can do without owning or working at a fabrication plant. If he had access to a casting machine or fab tools, I'm sure the end product would be better.

I'm interested as to what those black projectors look like on a black cobalt.

Death Dealer

My sediments exactly. I think they will just be to hot 2 handle.

This site gives a description of all the OEM bulb types.

It also has a plethora of lighting technologies and engineering specs explained.

I notice that Cobalt Addiction will be selling those projectors soon enough.

Hi Sherman,

You simply need to find out what type of bulb your vehicle require, and them you just purchase the same size in HID to do a straight replacement.

The bulbs differ slightly by size, but they all output a comparable amount of light.

Please let us know if you have any other questions

Thanks
