Anyone put HID kit in these projectors?

If anyone has put HID Xenons in these projectors, what were your results? Is the beam pattern ok? Does oncoming flash you? I like these headlights because they have glass housing and separate high beam (great for those single Xenon kits).

one thing i wanna ask.... are they aimable????? i was looking towards a 1 peice headlight but i dont think you can aim them... how bout these?

These have the simple aiming screws that the stockers have. With HIDs in these prjectors, I'm thinking that won't matter too much though. That's what I'm trying to find out is if these projector lenses will focus or scatter the light too much. Cause then no amount of aiming will help.

HID retro fit kits in a regular halogen bulb have worse output then a standard halogen bulb. No benefits are gained from HID's in a standard housing. You need to get an HID projector, OR an hid reflective housing.

That said, i have HID's in my halogen housings lol but i don't drive my car often haha

I know that HID bulbs in halogen housings will produce vastly scattered and blinding light due to the reflector and/or diffusion pattern on lens not made for HIDs. This would reduce the focused light output. However, to my knowledge most projector housings and lenses don't have any reflectors or diffucion patterns to aim the light. I think these projector housings fall into that category at least. So with that said, light output of HIDs vs. light output of Halogens, the HIDs would win.

I also have HIDs in halogen relector housings on my Subie. Luckily there are no diffusion patterns on the lens or else I wouldn't have done it. However, I must have gotten lucky because light out put is a greater than halogens and the color temperature makes a whole world of difference (6000k). They also do not blind oncoming drivers but have enough of a height to see far enough ahead. This is basically the same results I want to achieve with these projectors.
