HID install in the Angel Eyes

I though I see someone local here install HID Kits H8 into their Angel Eyes. Will it be too hot to burn the wire inside.

I don't think I see any thread installed here yet.

Not a good idea.

Not only being a serious issue with heat, the UV from the HIDs will eventually yellow the rings over time, requiring the entire headlamp to be replaced. We've seen a number of E92M3s with damaged headlamps over time going this route.

wow that is serious! Thank you for your suggestion. I though it look good. I know it will heat up the wire wrapping but yellow the ring will be serious.

Thanks Tom!
