Default HID's
I just ordered 12000K hid's for my projector headlights, and I have 2 concerns. 1: Will this melt my housing, since its an ebay headlight? 2: Will these HID's flicker ?

I got the HIDS from HIDExtra.com The leader in Xenon HID conversion kits (btw, theyre doing a sale for the next 6 hours. 15$ off . Full kit is $56 !! )

let me know .

12K huh? lol

1. No they won't melt the housings if installed properly
2. No they shouldn't flicker. If they do, check your connections or buy a new kit.
