    alright. so I have been looking around for a couple days now and I cant find anything about how to install my HID's into projection headlights. I was wondering if there is a video out there that I'm just not seeing or is it really that hard to do. I have a 2001 GT if that helps any

    I wouldn't get them, but that's me because the light output isn't that good and they bounce and the mounting points break, but if you still want them just figure out what bulb they take and buy an HID kit with the correct bulb size. I never owned them but others here have and could tell you bulb size.

    I got 9007 hid bulbs. Wouldn't that fit in those or are they completely different?

    I understand wanting the projection look but the spyder lights are junk. Do yourself a favor and retrofit, you will love it and it will be a much higher quality product. I mean, that's just sexy!

    I looked it up the Low beam (projector) takes an H1 bulb and High beam (reflector) takes a 9005 bulb

    what year is the car? if its a 97-03 then get the spyder ones. H1 bulb for the low beams. and yes they bounce but a nice piece of weather stripping under the housing will minimize the bounce and try not to take them in and out 100 times because yes the mounting brackets break after a while...but light output is good

    It's a 2001 and to install the bulb it's as easy as the stock headlight casing or no?

    I would imagine so. Just the steps will be different.
