would an aftermarket hid kit work in the ebay projectors for a 2001 , insead of buying 2002 hids ,i hope this question makes sense i was just curious if this would work.

 

yup.

just use whatever type of kit needed for that application (don't know if it uses h7 or whatever)

but those projectors are not meant for HIDs so you won't be getting the same results as you would with hid projectors

 

i love the look of the 2002 but i dont like the fact that they cost soo much and that they get stolen 5million times a day , so im looking for an alternative to it ... whats a good hid kit to get and if i couls get my hands on the 2002 hounsing withouth the lights would that work out?

 

if u get 2002 housing, you will need D2R HIDs. Or you will have to do a halogen retrofit which is a waste of money and time...but you will probably be the first one

thieves will still target your car thinking you have HIDs because of the housing.

Why not just AE your headlights? Or buy AE headlights? They look great and more aggressive.

 

i was thinking of the AE route but i love the look of the 2002 lights theyre hottt
if your willing to swap your 2002 for my 2001 i could throw in some cash
let me know

 

You need to change the projectors.. of course it will work if you do. Otherwise it will not. You will get light obviously, but it will be mad glare and look like ****. Been asked before, been answered.

 

Stop! Don't do a thing. Do NOT buy them. HIDs in these projectors will not only **** off a sh*t load of people around you, but may also nab you some tickets. The amount of glare you'll create would be ungodly. Have some pity on us out there, don't do it.

 

What are HID retrofit kits like in stock 2k/2k1 housings?

 

Great. I've seen many 00/01s driving near me, towards me, etc. wasn't bothered by any of them. We have a pretty nice reflector headlight with a good cut off. Just aim them a little down once you get the HIDs done, and you'll be set.

 

This is what mine looks like. I thought about getting the 2k2 headlights, but I decided to stick with the AE lights which I feel are a lil more exclusive.
