Question about aftermarket HID Projectors.

[calderb123]

Im looking into to purchasing some after market projectors and one question came up before I want to make my purchase. Right now i have 12,000k ddm HID's low beams, will I still be able to use these bulbs with the new housings and projectors?

these are the projectors im looking into.

most lights like those usually take H1's so you may wanna email the seller and ask, but im those projectors arent close to the depo's.. the optics of the depo's are better and give a better cut off...not to mention they take the stock size bulbs..
but 12k, get rid of them too blue/purple and go 6k.. you'll be very pleased with how much more you see at night lol

thanks for the advice!

also can anyone point me in the right direction of how to remove a fog light from a 2004 z71? got some water in there from recent flooding that i would like the get out. I searched for it and nothing came up

+1 on what whitehoe said.

12000K is way too blue. That is seriously cutting down on both actual light output, and usable light. Blue looks cool, but it sucks for seeing with. Our eyes aren't designed for that.

I have the exact same ones on my truck. I bought them back in November and I had 2 of the outer edge LED's die which they replaced for free. I also have had some problems with my left set of halo eyes but I went with the CCFL ones instead and it was a dead converter which they also replaced.

The projectors are pretty good and allow no light that I notice above the cutoff. They were a slight pain to install but it really was not too bad. I read a post from someone who said they couldn't get them in and ended up returning them. I had the same prioblem but it was the headlight adjustment that was turned up all the way. They also have some wiggle over bumps which I would like to fix.

Here are a few pictures:
