Default projectors with hid's? Raxiom lights?

ive been looking around at projector lights, and really like the Raxiom 2010 style on americanmuscle.com. but it says dont use hids. ive researched and found someone who did, but the light was made by a different company(looked exactly the same tho). he said it worked out just fine, good beam pattern. does anyone have these lights? are you running hids? what bulb size is the corner light on these?
or is anyone running projectors with hids? any pics?

i have hids in my fogs and CCFL smoked halos i got off americanmuscle. but the left halo is going out, and theirs alot of moisture in the headlight housing. i want something different.

Personally I don't think HID's look right in projectors because it has kind of a mirror effect since the glass on a projectors kind of acts like a mirror when you hit bumps and stuff like that. It may say don't use HID's because it doesn't have a cap, I'm sure if you have capped ones it shouldn't matter unless there is an issue with fitment.

Yes I was lol... How's the cut off line? Still really bright and focused? I'd like a pic of them shinning on something or down the road if possible... Thanks for any help

From what I understand, ANZO is a wholesale company; other retailers sell their products.

The cutoff line is super distinct, and the lights are really bright. As far as I can tell, the Raxiom lights from American Muscle are identical to the ones I have.

I'm not sure what size the corner lights are; I'm using the ones that came with the light. The lights came with halogen bulbs, all I did was switch them out with a H9 HID kit.

I've heard people say they don't like these projector lights because they make our S197s look "cross eyed." IMO these lights look way better in person than in pictures. They really make the front of your mustang look much sharper, especially with the GT fog lights.

Let me know if you have any more questions, I'm sure whatever you choose will look great on your car.
