Default Is your headlight lens ok with HID?

I noticed this one week ago. My rigthr lens is getting burning form inside. It looks like a water condensation, but it is not. I had HID since last year may or june, I think. I wonder if anybody else is having the same problem

The problem is due to the HIDs themselves. When you instal a cheaper HID conversion kit the glass they use to enclose the gas element of the bulb is just normal glass. This lets the full spectrum of the light waves from your HIDs to be released, including the damaging Ultra Violet (UV) rays. When choosing an aftermarket HID kit it is important to find one that has a UV resistant coating on the bulbs such as these from Xenon Expert;


XENON EXPERT

I got mine from DDM Tuning. Should I get projector?
If I were to change to Xenon expert, I would need to get unmodified headlights? The backing on mine is cut to accomodate DDM Tuning bulbs

They have the same grommet as DDM, So you could use your headlights still, Those posted above arent projectors, They are just extremly high priced HID's.
