Physics shows us that the source of light and the lamp used to harness that source must be designed as a unit, you cannot mix and match lamps and light sources.
Thought we were talking about the clear lenses, not HID vs LED vs Halogen...

though to compensate for the focal length of the halogen projector you could put a spacer on the back of the projector if you know what size you need for the HID your using. Though really it would be much better to retrofit a d2s projector into the svx headlight housing, probably not even that difficult since oem was projectors.
