Nice, having HID's over regular bulbs is a world of difference.

ya i bought these ( see below ) awhile back when i first bought the car. and they FUCKING SUCK. esp dark wet pavement i cant see shit

and the deal breaker was this past saturday i was driving 35 km/h doing a residential street and didnt see a fucking 10 year old kid all geared up in his hockey equipment till i was literlly right beside him. i partially freaked on myself, was going slow as fuck.. but just the fact of it.

so i loaded the credit card that night, it went in about 30 min ago, and just finished my order. hopefully in before my bday!

Careful with headlights like these man, my friends cobalt ss melted plastic housing headlights like this with HID's. Make sure someone has ran hid's in them successfully. The hid's weren't even that bright because the projector was shitty any way. So be careful man. My neon srt4 at the time with stock headlights and a home made shield to guide the light down and have a nice cutoff looked and lit up way better before I went with retrofit.

I did lots of reaearch on these
Only provlems with these are stress cracks. But that was years ago hard to find any new threads with that issue. People say the bulbs that come witj these lamps are problematic and allll go hid wkth no issues

And the price is a huge bonus. $250 shipped to my door canada. They are on the cheaper side and i know that, m car got 200k kms on it. I dont want it to last 5 more years, maybe 2 more im happy, only paid just over 4 grand for it came with 2 grand in stereo equipment. I invrsted lots , but i made it reliable. So heh
