Default H4 Projectors Or Any Others

I have a question to whoever has Projectors. Is your projector housing a 9003, HB2 or H4? I own H4 Bi-xenons (My H4 have the same socket as 9003) but I can't seem to find projectors to work with them. How did you guys get around it? Who's running HIDs in projectors? and what did you do to get it to work?

Anyways I figured out my problem if I bought ebay projectors and how I'd get my lights to work.

(pic for example)




The projectors take H1 bulbs... My bulbs are H4.. I have 2 Ballasts for each bulb so 4 connections for each bulb 2 for high beam and 2 for low for each side. My idea is to get projectors and buy H1 bulbs which will go into the projectors since they will be the ones used constantly and take the 2 connections from the H4 low beam bulb and connect them to the H1 bulb. Then insert H4 bulbs in the Reflective lens since I'm only going to use the high beams when there's no one around anyways so I could care where the light shines. So in the end when I turn on my lights my low beams will be in projectors with a somewhat decent cut line and my H4 Highbeams will work like usual.

Now I just need the Projectors.... Anyone selling them?

The proper setup is to use projectors that are built for HIDs in the first place. Putting a HID into a projector designed for halogen will have the same lousy results as putting a HID into a stock halogen housing.
