Sorry to hear bout the headlight problem . Its cool their covering it , but a pita none the less .
yea mine started kinda smoking on my focus, i found that most ebay projectors come with high watt bulbs, either that or shitty ones. mine were both high watt and shitty, the little cap/cover on top lof the bulb started peeling off.so i switched them out immediately for some other bulbs of 55 watts, they dont overheat or melt or anything anmore. go out to your car and leave your lights on for a few minutes and put your hand on the headlight..see if its hot.
i shipped mine out 2 days ago so i should have replacement in a few days and yes the bulbs that are in there are very hot so should i switch them to silverstars or something like that sicne i dont wanna spend alot of money on headlights right now, i know piaa are the best but those can go in later. i dont even know the headlight code for the projectors and it looks like a pain to change them out

the reason they say no to HID's is the bulbs dont fit the narrow opening, I had to modify mine to get them to fit.
No melting here that I can see

Aiming them is a chore, but you only do it one time

Aftermarket headlights that only cost 300 dollars aren't going to last. Why do you think when you order STOCK headlights from the dealer, they are about 3-400 a piece?
There isn't even a company associated with those projectors. Thats why everyone calls them Ebay projectors.

There covering their a$$ , so someone cant complain to them about how horrible the light output is if a HID bulb was used . Becasue FYI to another comment in here , HALO and other HID retrofit companies make bulbs that directly fit in this housing .
