They are not HID
I guess I'm not exactly sure hat you're asking...
Are you asking for a comparison of the projector lights w/out HID vs. Your HIDs in stock housing?
Or are you asking how the light output would be if you added your HID kit to the projector lights?

oh sory about that.
I want to know if the output will be better/same/worse with the HID kit that I now have in stock housing? I want to know cause I want to buy the halo projector kit, but not sre for the above reason.
Basically how will it be with the HIDs in the projector lamps.

I cab only assume the output would be the same as far as intensity - just a more focused beam of light since it is not being scattered by ye reflective housing .
I think the user "thearchitect" has HIDs in his projector headlights. Maybe shoot him a PM to be 100% certain.
If I had to guess I would say that the HIDs inside of the projector would look really good.

8000k is too blue for my taste, less light output, good mix is 6000, best output is like 5000k right between yellow/white. to describe it best id say, 6k is white, 8k is white/blue 10k is blue.

Its a lot more better even with the 8000Ks. I'd safely say atleast 3 times more visibility than stock bulbs, even on the stocxk lamps. Plus, you get noticed! :w00t:
About the ebay halo projectors, had seen on the net that there are different lenses
for the HID and the Halos. I wanna get the chrome ones though. Black seemed too common on ebay.

ebay projectors are crappy from what i've read on the forums. they melt, get moisture, and the light pattern is way off.
on that note, people have had very good success with stock housings and HID's. 8000 is a little high, i had some and street signs were weird looking, stripes looked weird, and it was hard to see when there was just stripes and signs.
i'd go with a 6000 bulb or a 5500 bulb if you can find it.

ggetting 6000s or is hard here.
If the ebay ones are crappy, I just saved 200 bucks plus! I am happy with the stock housing and 8000s،
i am investing that money in sway bar and scangauge II instead.

I’m very happy with my 6000k Bi-xenon HID kit from VVME; I installed it on my car almost 3 years ago and it’s working perfect. I wasn't sure when purchasing this kit because it was the cheapest one on eBay, but it turn out very good, I have installed at least 8 or more on friends and family cars and all of them still work fine!

Thats a great "surprise" Bi-xenons work very nice with the stock headlights, cuz they have the shield that the normal HID's don't have.

yeah Lucas I had these bi's and did not know. They DO work great on the stock hosing and have an output thrice as brighter.
Now for that bar and scangage!!
