    I have both the chrome and black housings. both bounce but thats basically what your gonna get. i have the 6000K HID setup in the black housings. I dont remember off the top of my head which bulbs they were but its either H1 or H3 for low beams and high beams are 9005. its definetely hard to angle them just right for me but they are definetly a good look for the car. i love them despite the bounce.

    Got the spyder auto projectors in my 01.



    They are definitely an improvement over the the OEM's in regard to light output. Alignment is a bit tricky, the beams do cross a bit, but there is plenty of light output and I have no problem with them being aimed too high, I never get flashed by oncoming traffic. The mounting brackets are on the weak side and there was some bounce. There are some suggested fixes out there in regards to adding washers and rubber grommets, but I found it was easy just to stuff some styrafoam packing behind the lights and I have no more bounce. The LED halos are little weak, needs to be dark before they are visible, they not anything close to the BMW halo output, if your looking for that.
