Is there any way to get an HID kit installed into a aftermarket halo headlight

I bought some halo headlights online but they basically have the stock light beam on them I had already upgraded my lights to the hid kit so I kinda miss the brightness is there any way to in tall a kit in them ? Would I have to me with the wires and make my own connections? ?

Do you mean you bought normal halo headlights or the projector ones, I'm assuming when you added hids to your factory lights got just used a pnp kit?

Sounds like you had PNP then went halo with halogens. Both of those steps you took are a downgrade from your OEM halogen lights.
If you want tru brightness look into a retrofit. It's the proper way to do HIDs without blinding anyone and getting the full potential of the HIDs..
Now if you like the look of your halos they make a kit to upgrade the halogen projectors to actual hid projectors.
This kit to be exact.

You can but it's highly not recommended. Those projectors are halogen projectors and crappy ones at that. They are not designed for HIDs, you will get crap output and glare.

Contact speedstang, he used the kit I listed earlier and is very happy with it over the projectors that came with those headlights.

Nope. Open up headlight, unbolt halogen projector, bolt in hid projector. And the hid kit will be plug N play.. Message speedstang he did it, he can walk you thru it.

Projector and mounting bracket.
If your ballasts you had before were 35w and amp connections you can use that. And you'll have to get H1 HIDs also. Which I suggest getting the xb35 H1s from that same site. Plus some resealing butyl and H13 relay harness. I know speedstang had problems with the wiring setup they sent him the first time.
