projectors and HIDs.
Ok so here I go. (I don't know if this was answered). But yea.
So I got these projectors headlights for my eg hatch. So when I was installing it. On top of the housing, it says "HID not allowed". Well something like that. Is there way around this?. Or can't do ****?. Well thanks.

retrofit those projectors. with HID suitable projectors from a TSX or TL, thats the best way to go.

check first if others have done this first. if there is a sticker saying....HIDs not allowed...it might mean the housing is not strong or thick enough to take all that heat (not literally cuz HIDs run cooler) and wattage going through.
or it might have something to do with the lens itself. the HID bulb may not have enough space in the socket to fit properly.

I think the main reason is that the bulbs don't fit... the HID bulb has a filament type thing underneath the bulb that a regular bulb doesn't have, which is why I had to make a notch in the housing for it to slide in.. it shouldn't melt anything cuz the HID's run cooler than regular bulbs.. I think I got a pic somewhere of how I did it.. let me see if I can find it..

but seriously... as szuberi said HID's run cooler, so its not going to melt the projector. there are only 2 real areas of concern you need to address.
1) will it fit properly
2) does the projector not reflect the light properly (hence the warning), this isn't as serious as there are 10001 civics on the streets with HID's in stock headlights. If it bothers you, retro fit, if it doesn't watever, its your car.
make sure it fits properly though. This is extremely important. Take some pictures and post them, im sure there are a lot of EG owners with HIDs
