what kinda problems are you having? Are you sure your putting in 9003 bulbs? There's some things to check.

Yea i've heard you can do it. Ive never seen it done though. I have projectors on my EK and asked one of my friends that works at a shop if it can be done. He said hell yea and they would look bad ass w/ the projectors. Its the same setup just uses H3 bulb

yea those Hyper White bulbs burn out real easily...well the ones i've used though...the "HID LOOK" lol...but hey for $18 what do u expect? :D

To take full advantage of HID's it should be used in a HID projector lense. A problem you will have is with the amout of room inside your projectors. The HID bulb is 2.5" inches long and to be safe you should have at least 3" inches. Now I'm not too sure how much room is in your projector but I've tried them in the "dual projector" for my 94 Civic and the bulb will not fit ... I am working on using an Audi A6 projector and molding it into my projectors at the moment ...

I think he's talking about adding HID to a H3 projector housing. Have you guys heard what happens if you do? I heard it kills the beam pattern, makes a rainbow effect and it look like $hit :confused: . But i havent seen it myself, i just heard. Has anyone tried using H3 HID conversion kit before?

i have an HID kit in my 92-95 projector headlights with H3 style bulbs they are the brightest thing i have ever seen i did not have any problems with installation the only thing you have to do is make a hole in the cover to make space for the back on of the light bulb and use silicone to seal it if you want i could take some pics
