HID Help Por Favor

I have the Ebay projectors (I know, I'm an idiot, but ballin' on a budget, right?)that say "No Xenon" and I've searched and ask around about how to put HID's in them (just want the low beams) and the I know the answer: drill.

But that is the only answer I've been given. No depth or detailed explanation. So if someone could please help me out with this I would be forever grateful!

Once I figure out that this is actually possible I will be buying an H1 Kit.

You really don't need to drill them, not if the bulb capsule is the correct size. They only say no xenon on them because they were not designed to run hids, but they will no problem. I used to have a set of 3rd gens about two years ago that I installed hids and they're still going strong to this day, they're on a friend's car. Order an H1 kit in whatever color you want, and install it, simple as that. If you can't get the bulb to fit, then you may need to file down the metal bulb insert in the projectors, but you shouldn't have to.

If you have a small round metal file, it might not be a bad idea to keep it handy, just in case. I had to file down to fit a set from DDM, but the kit I bought from 3bspec fit perfectly without filing
