HID/Projectors?

Who has either of these? whats the big difference? which are better?

I talked to my mitsubishi dealership and they told me that theres a potential to burnout and cause a huge electrical problem? blown fuses? and such? is this the truth or is he just a jackpoophead?

I was going to get HID's but I dont want them if i'm going to be driving on the highway then all of a sudden i have no lights.

thx

Well HID's are the types of bulbs, HID = high indensity charge.

Projectors are basically the type of housing and shape of the casing around the headlight. For example compare the 04-06 Lancer headlights to aftermarket "projector" headlights like I have on my Ralliart.

My apology I did not mean to type that 08 has projectors. Got confused when I was typing other stuff in another forum at the same time, I knew something was wrong... lol

HID never works right....unless you do a retro fit you will have glare all over and you will be blinding people.
