Problem though -it burnt off the chrome on the "plastic" reflector .I was told that unless you have a HID designed reflector its not good news for the plastic
It's entirely possible of course, but I'm unsure about an HID doing any damage that the OEM Halogen wouldn't have done anyway.
The BMW I owned, had a fair few owners reporting burned headlight housings, blackened and burnt off silver reflector material, melted connectors etc., and they all had OEM bulbs. Some went to HID's because of this, to avoid it happening again. (with perfect success, and many multi-thousands of miles used)
While I didn't have an OEM headight reflector problem with mine, I did have to change out the Halogen bulb for an HID because the bike's vibrations kept killing filament style bulbs. Over 20,000 km's with the HID before I sold the bike, and no hint of any problems.
