Default really really bright headlights

has anybody ever tried to put HID bulbs in projector lenses that normally take H4 standards?

(proper, high voltage HID not just xenon bulbs)

Ive put a HID on my TT6 headlight, was good i had a blue 6k version then i changed to the 4800k one which was nicer, ive yet to move all the kit over to my kwak. One problem i did have on the TT was stray light beams around the edges of the luminated area which was odd. Did not try on my SV as i dont have anywhere to put the balasts yet.

the TT6 had only a single H4 reflector. I used a HID with a moving metal shield to move the beam up and down quickly, the balast luckly fit just infront of the speedo, there was a relay wiring back to the battery but it all came part of the kit, its for a dual config but i was only using one bulb.

I may well do something like that, perhaps with some car foglights and shoehorn in HID bulbs.
Brackets to aim the dips down and up a bit at the left will be easy enough.

We shall see what can be done with scrapyard bits
