Default HID in Reflector Housing

I know I'm going to get s*** for this, but here goes...

I am running 55w, 10,000k HID's in my stock 2011 reflector headlight housing.

I know I need to change this...

What are my options if I want to continue using my HID's that I bought?
I see most aftermarket housings have separate hi/low beam projectors....

Sounds to me like you understand that projector housings are required for HID's.
So get on Google and start searchin......the factory one's are obviously the best.

jesus, how do you even drive at night? put a scented candle up front, you may see better.

ok, I got it out of my system. do you want to spend money and do it right? you can do a few things. One would be to throw the HID kit away and put your stock bulbs in there for the time being. Buy a used set of headlamps on ebay and start a proper HID projector retrofit. check out www.theretrofitsource.com for everything you need.

If you have plenty more cash to spend, I would opt for the 2013+ OEM HID projector housings. all you would need is a relay harness and you should be good to go. You can get lucky and find a used set on ebay. sometimes they're separate. a lot of them come without the ballast and bulbs but you can buy them separate.

you're welcome.
