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.

 

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...

 

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

 

So overall how much did u spend?

 

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.

 

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

 

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.

 

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

 

ordered my black projectors. 3-7 days till dilivery. called up k2motor and got them for 320 delivered. so ill post up some pictures when i get them and when im installing them.

^^^^^ nice any plans for HID?

what is the difference between H4 and H11 and all other Hs in the middle?

 

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

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

ok so what the hell does all that stuff mean? not to sound dumb or anthing but its like 1:50 and i dont fell like using my head.

 

I Like Them, But I Woiuld Like To See Them On A Cobalt

 

received black projectors last week. trying to get them installed by the 8th for the sema show.

 

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
