The HID bulbs are slightly longer than a normal bulb in which it replaces. On the projectors you would have to fab up a way to gain the space for the bulb.

nope, the hid bulb has a electrode that comes out of the glass and goes back down to the wiring, you need to drill out a path for this electrode in the housing, but to do so you need to tape it off and have a vacuum sucking the drill debris as you do it.
