Hids in projector halo So i put my 10k hids in my headlights but the low beam lens is a projector and almost no light comes out on the road at night? anyone else have a problem with this
Make sure you got the right bulb size in there and it's fully seated in the opening. If you do, you should have a similar output as mine, just a little darker (I have 6000K bulbs)

2 things:
1.) You need the correct bulbs. Jamming in the wrong bulbs won't get them aligned correctly and you'll have bad output.
2.) Don't use 12000K bulbs. They are useless. They are close in brightness to halogen bulbs and the color is a poor choice for our night vision so regular halogen would be better. If you want the best light output, stick with the 4300K - 6000K range.

Yeah jamming the wrong bulb type in there is going to be no good. Get the right bulb. They cost what, 15-20 bucks? Just do it.
And as mentioned, don't get those really blue or pink ones. Visibility will suck with that color and you'll be even more of a target for the police with colored headlights like that. And really, the colored light doesn't even look cool, it looks cheesy.
