I just did a test on how hot my retrofit would get with the cheap kits such as ebay,DDM,etc. I ran my light's for an hour and took the OUTSIDE temp of my housing and it reached 222f i decided to shut them off for fear of my projector becoming burnt and melting of my shrouds. I couldn't record my inside temps of the projector bowl becuse it was so hot.

Normal temps should be around 150-200 for INSIDE of the projector it's probably safe to say mine were close to 300f.

The only bulbs i would recommend would be oem or morimoto.

 

Anyone who thinks of putting in an HID retro fit without actual HID projector housings should look at this:

It is a known fact that cheap retrofit HID kits blind oncoming traffic and decrease the driver's visibility.

Hell this even has some points against using HID all together:

you should have invested your money in the SBG HID kits

 

lol i guess some of you guys don't know what i am talking about but for those who do don't use cheap bulbs!

I really should of made the thread title for those who have PNP kit bulbs.

 

dear lord I want a set. I just looked them up. This is the ONLY set that should end up in an FD.
