HID conversion from halogen projectors

So i bought projector headlights from spyder auto ( http://www.spyderauto.com/product.ph...MWE9005-AM-BK# )a few months ago and now I want to do an HID conversion, I don't know which HID brand I'm gonna use but I'm sure my sponsor can hook me up with a set or a discount, anyways I've heard a few bad things about HID's in regular halogen headlight housings and projector headlights, is this true?

if your projector cutoff is good, then HIDs will be fine. If i remember correctly 07 was the year that ppl had problems trying to connect HIDs. Do a search, maybe you'll find something

Light output from the projectors. The cutoff is the straightness of the beam when it is shined down a road. If it is all over the place please get yourself new headlights as its illegal and can cause accidents when they blur on coming traffic.
