"TRUE HIDS" is the key Yes i know what real hids are and what applications they are to be used in. Not the stock housing of the vette that is for sure. As far as running hotter, on the wire is what i meant to say.

Yes i know true hids are not tinted blue. What i stated was correct that they are not meant for the housing of the vette and you are taking apart a hid bulb and retrofitting it into a connection for the bulbs in the vette. THey can cause problems with the current draw and the pop up lights.
Happy now? There are certain precautions anyone who is interested in them should know about. SO why all the fuss about giving that information out? They do not look good to me, I know what a true projector hid operation is and throwing these in the stock housing is not it.
RICE is all i have to say

I updated mine with the E-code glass system w/ upgraded wiring and high wattage bulbs. I think this is what people get confused about heat, these lights put it out. Too much for the stock plastic housing.
I would really like (time permitting) to retro an Audi projector HID into the housings. This won't work well with the E-Codes unless I do Bi-Xenon. Then you have to deal with the glass housings.
Thanks for the comments on the car.

Nothing wrong with info. It's speculation meant to be made to appear like fact that shouldn't be spread.
