    I have bought hid's for all my previous GP's, but with the exception of my 98 I have always
    used the stock headlight housings. My current 00 GT came with the spyder projectors and
    yesterday i tried to install my newest set. The H1 bulbs didnt really fit in the projector
    housing. One of the pieces actually cracked, it didnt separate the wire and they still turn
    on, but i hope it doesnt cause a problem down the line.

    Anybody have this issue?

    Well I've never had them but do you mean the HID H1 bulb isn't fitting into the projector?

    Well you probably have to add a spacer to the bulb because those projectors are made for halogen bulbs. With that the bulb won't be lined up correctly and your probably gonna have hot spots. Not sure what to use for spacers.
