Will this lens work with an HID bulb? Is the back of the housing metal? Will there be the appropriate "cutoff" when using HID?

It will not the back is a hi grade thermoplastic. The lamps are designed to hold an H4 lamp.

I was using HID bulbs in this housing. They worked well. The LEDs kept going out for me.

I use 55w hids with a high 4 relay. The beams are nice the housings are the third set I've had and the only ones I've been happy with so far I also bought them as a possibility to do real projector retrofit in the future.

No this bulb is a halogen bulb it's not a hid bulb it's not made for hid kit or a ballast!

Better if aimed correctly. I strongly recommend swapping out the included H1 bulbs for HIDs.

The bulbs are easily removable from the back. Hid kits will work. But you need to have the specific kit for it as the high beam and low beam lights are different, hence you would have to buy two kits if you want all lights HID. I believe the bulbs are h1 and h7, will check bulb type and confirm later.

Hi Randy. I have a couple of these units. Sorry, no, they won't act as HID. They are strictly SPP. Great units if you need a "wireless serial cable," with a few limitations.

Yes, these headlight housings work excellent with HIDs. I have a 2004 F140 with these lights installed, and I'm running 35W 6000K HIDs (takes 9006 style bulbs in the low beam projector and H1 bulb in High beam) and they light up the road VERY well and evenly between the road ditches. If you're looking for an affordable HID projector setup, this is your setup. I've been running mine for over a year now and they're still going great.

Hello,The parking light is clear lens but bulb will flash amber for SAE/DOT Compliant. The OEM bulbs should fit in.Thanks.

Dear Customer, Thank you very much for your inquiry with us! For the back of the unit, there is a tap/adapter to accept the 9006 HID bulb size. Please let me know if you have any other questions that I can help you with. Thank you Jay iJDMTOY

The housing fits any bulb that the traditional housing will fit. It is large enough to fit an his bulb, but if you use hids make sure to aim the headlights down as they will blind everyone otherwise.

Yes, but not as well as you might expect. Size and extra heat pose problems. So does quality when it comes to longevity. Their light pattern is not always as good as a stock bulb configuration. If you are after a brighter bulb using the stock wattage, use a Silverstar or PIAA . even if they burn a little hotter, their configuration prevents them from burning the socket or melting the lens.

I fully agree with your idea. I bought a "Wide Angle Lens for MagicShine, Gemini, and many other Bike Lights / Headlight" by ACTION LED LIGHTS about a year ago and have been very happy with it. With the light you are looking at, it can replace the original flat glass lens or fit over it. You unscrew the metal ring that holds the lens over the LED bulb, replace the lens with the diffuser (or put the diffuser over the lens) and screw the ring back on being sure that the rubber o-ring stays in position and the bars molded into the diffuser stay vertical. Easier to do than to explain. Pattern is quite even and spread is good for bike paths and roads. Might be a little narrow still for boonie-crashing. Preserves weather seal on the lamp if you are careful with the o-ring. not bad for five bucks!

I tried using mine in front of a CCTV camera to reduce glare from fluorescent bulbs. Didn't work. The lens is polorized fine, just didn't work for my application.

I read the same thing when doing my research on HID conversion kits. I can only guess that it would depend on the car. My install didn't require any retrofitting, just a very slight adjustment in the height and direction of the headlight housing.

I'm not sure but there are only a few Hid bulbs sizes. You should be able to Google it. I don't want to give you the wrong info.
