Can I Install HIDs into my Aftermarker Headlights?

I just bought new headlights but what I dont like about them is the led strip on the sides dont match the actual light so I bought 6k hids from ddm tuning. These are the headlights I bought http://www.ebay.com/itm/03-04-INFINI...6e99a1&vxp=mtr .... I was hoping theres someone who has installed hids into these headlights and could tell me how to do it or show me a video.

No, aftermarket HIDs are illegal and you dont want to be that douche on the road blinding everyone.

PS
Please tell me you didnt actually buy those headlights.

You ever notice that the guys who install aftermarket HID kits in their halogen lights also tend to ride around with the lights on at high noon on a bright sunny day?

My bad bro I didn't realize I asked for your opinion on my headlights I thought I just asked how to install hids into them and the hids I bought are 35watts so they aren't the kind of hids that blind everyone

Sorry "bro" but the wattage has nothing to do with blinding. HID and halogen headlights have different housing geometry. Installing aftermarket illegal HIDs into a halogen housing causes scatter. So not only will they look like complete ebay sh*t on your ride, they will in fact blind everyone as w

Kid aren't you 16? What do you even know about anything, especially cars? If you knew anything at all, pattern is what matters, not light output. A HID system in a halogen housing will send light everywhere, you may get slightly more light on the road but everyone will hate your dbag car. Your crappy ebay headlights will make it even worse than the OEM lights.

BTW
How did swapping the turbo from your Mommy's RDX into your G35 go?

Well I didn't mean to make your rage and I was very disappointed when your reply didn't include another picture.. Obviously you have a very busy schedule mr grown up.. Thanks for lurking my account to try and find something to bring up in an attempt to make fun of me, I didn't realize that we were acting like 8 year olds but don't you have something better to do that make fun of 16 year olds trying to learn about cars not doing anything to **** anyone off mr grown up? Btw the wattage is a big difference.. Just because light is being scattered isn't a big deal if the light that's being scattered isn't bright to begin with but thanks for trying to be a smart ***..

I wasn't lurking. I actually used on of your threads as an example of why this forum is going to sh*t in another thread. It so happens you post a lot of stupid things.

To answer your question....

What bulbs do those lights use for the low beams? Once you know what bulb they take, you need to buy an HID kit that fits that socket.

Those are projectors, and not reflector housings, so the beam cutoff pattern will be much better than if they were reflector housings.

So yes...you can do it.

Will it glare? Who knows, but you'll find out

Working sucks, I wish my mommy and daddy paid for everything for me. The crazy thing about trying to teach you the error of your ways, is that I was building cars when you were still in your daddy's nut sack, yet you already know all there is about automotive lighting.

Tell ya what, how about we just blame this one on you finally hitting puberty and move on?
