    The problem with those " projectors" is ..... They ain't projectors. That is a extremely clear pixel of plastic.... Which means it will not collect your light and put it into a focused beam.

    A real projector is a glass lends that focuses the light. Then behind te lends it has a slider that goes up and down. With all lights the light reflecting from the bottom of the housing( under side of bulb) makes the high beam , and vise vs with the high beam. So if it didn't have a mechanical slider that goes up and down infront of the bulb/ behind the lends, then it will not have hi/ low if you put HIDS in..... If I were you I would try and get a retrofit kit for around 300 or sickhids.com for around 450 for a basic setup.

    i spent about 190 on my projectors and mine were set up to take hids. With the hids in them and my center lights i light up 6 lanes of highway no problem and are bright. Only mistake i did is i got 35watt instead of 55watt
