Spyder Auto Headlights, Are they Junk?

[Mange16v]

Has anyone had any experience with these headlights? I Have contacted the Manufacturer and a vendor and can't get a straight answer from either on specific questions. If so do the projectors work with HID bulbs like they are supposed to?

Are they cheap plastic that melts from bulb heat like I have seen Elsewhere?

Thank you!

Spyder’s are good, but projector is not made for HID, its made for halogen.

Do you know of any lights that are designed with a projector for HID's? Preferably a glass lens... These were the closest I have found to being a projector style light.

No, there is like none, you have to retrofit them yourself.

I have the Spyder optic led headlights haven't installed them but as far as quality goes It seems pretty sturdy and not cheaply made, however i do know the output of the spyder projectors are terrible, so I will be replacing it with a better d2s4.0 projector.

They are on sale right now, And I would probably do an HID retrofit to them either way. I was looking at the smoked set with side markers. Just don't want to do work to a junk housing. I just put Projectors from an audi TT in my S6. Looks factory but is a bit of work

HIDs are run in projectors all the time straight from the manufacturer.
In this case you just need to make sure you buy the correct HID bulb. D1S bulbs are designed for projector applications, D1R bulbs are used in reflector housings. R bulbs have a coating painted on to them which help the reflector produce a cut off line, S bulbs do not, similar to halogen.
