Next,
your laamp is plastic and called 'a reflector' for halogen buldb

here is an example...see how you can see the bulb in the center and the lens is really just the plastic cover?


Here is the exact same 'houising' but designed specificlly for hid. see the 'dull looking lens behind the plastic lens





Hid lamps are metal and called 'projector' they have a factory ground optically ground lens.




Finally, the hid has a metal body so that the heat generated by the hid bulb wont melt it......
your lens is plastic...........think about it........

Finally, YES, the BASE of the HID will fit into the base of the halogen lamp.
But that DOESNOT MEAN IT WORKS CORRECTLY!!!!
