    I seen some old posts on here about this, but nothing where anyone has actually done this yet. Here are mine installed for those who are wondering how they look. You can get the headlights in chrome, black, or smoked.

    They weren't hard to install really. I stripped all of the LEDs and halos and wrapped them all together and crimped into one wire. I did this for the ground wires, and another set for the hot wires. I then used quick connects to tie them into the stock wiring for the sidemarkers. There are only three wires for the sidemarkers, two black wires and one brown wire. The brown wire is hot, and I used the black wire that was daisy-chained into another bulb as the ground, worked like a charm!
    There is also just one bolt holding the headlights in. The bolt goes through a bar right behind the lights. Once that bolt is out, the bar slides up and unlocks the headlights from the front of the car. They come right out after that bar is raised up.

    You probably will want to keep your stock headlights around as the output on the ebay projector lights isn't that great

    Yeah these were the headlights that my wife wanted. I was wanting the chrome Depo headlights, but she wins as she's the one that puts out

    hope you don't wreck your car from lack of night vision. Never been a fan of those tail light covers or flip's paint job over them.

    Man, everyone's ragging on your new purchase.

    So, I'll be helpful: Buy the brightest, whitest HID's you can stick in there and modify them slightly/ drill out mounting bracket to fix your light output.http://www.gpona.com/forums/04-08-gr...rs-t20993.html

    if your wife likes them, then of course you do. i like that you're at least moving away from stock.

    flip's painting of tails which resembles those covers is 100x better than those silly covers.

    Actually it's not nearly as bad as everyone thinks it is. With the fog lights on at the same time it about the same as the low beams on the old lights. The high beams are just as good as the originals as well.

    I've had these types of lights in previous cars and haven't had any issues with being able to see. You should see what the headlights on my geo look like, lol.

    yeah, but either way I don't like how small it makes the tail lights look. Straight up tinting looks better to me.
