    The lens has to be made specifically for HIDs, otherwise like Jim said you might as well put HIDs is your factory housing.

      How do you know if the projector has a hid cutoff?

      Factory ones from Lexus and BMW are common for HID retrofits.

      If a projector wasn't made for HID's then it won't have a distinct HID cut off (and like 99% of the ones on ebay aren't made for HID's)

        So if he were to get those headlights and replace the ebay projector with the Factory ones out of say a lexus or bmw it would be legit?

          Yeah, fitment might be an issue though, you should see if you can get the measurements of both items.

                TSX projectors are extremely popular with retrofits, and tend to be the less expensive of the group, with one of the best light outputs.

                  Thank you, I suppose you guys dont do retrofits being its probably technically illegal?

                    No we do not. Opening a headlight housing is just opening a can of worms (moisture/fitment isn't always even 'fair' looking/etc).
