Oh, yeah the halos will only allow blue light to pass through if you get the blue lens ones, white lens ones are different. I dunno what the light output will be like; with 8000K HID's the light is blue, so you get all, let's say 1,000 Lumens worth of light. With a blue lens and a 1,000 Lumen halogen, the lens will filter out all other colors of the spectrum and only allow blue light through, so, since white light is a mixture of all colors, but mostly yellow and blue, your 1,000 Lumens will decrease to 500 or so.

Do this make sense to everyone or do I sound like an idiot?

Retrofit is the best way to go with projectors, Aftermarket projectors tend to be more thicker, thus emitting less light than you actually putting out. When i first got my accord,it came with the ebay TYC's..looked horrible. Went back to the oem look.

I think the eBay projectors are made out of polyurethane, whereas factory projectors are glass.

I personally just like white, which is why I run 5000K low beams.
