    I don't think people have been having problems installing the actual headlights, just wiring the halos. There's been tons of threads on them.

    I purchased a set of the projector headlights myself and I am not satisfied at all with their performance. They look great on the car, don't get me wrong, but the pattern of light that they emit in the low-beam is wierd and the high-beam is completely useless because one of the halos is positioned right in front of the bulb. The low-beam is super focused and bright but there's a cutoff to the light and at night it's totally dark beyond the top of the beam. The beam looks something like this: __/--. You have to adjust the headlights almost all the way up to see down the road and by the time you do that the high-beams are pointed into the trees. These headlights in my opinion are purely a cosmetic upgrade while severely lacking in functionality. Also the frame for the light is very flimsy. They shake over every little bump and I literally broke off 2 of the places to bolt the thing on. I had to take 2 long pieces of wire, wrap it around the frame where the anchor was, and twist it tight with some pliers to get the damn things on.

    If you do get these headlights, they adjust vertically with a 8mm wrench. To adjust horizontally, you have to take them off and adjust them with a phillips screwdriver.

    I have purchased a set of the Black corner lenses for the car and I'm going back to the stock headlamp with those black corners.

    If you do get them I hope you like them. For about 200$, that's a pretty expensive item to get and not like.

    no problem at all. I would hate to see someone else buy these and be disappointed like I was.

    Dont be so so discouraged. These lights are great actually. There is a thread on clubgp in the appearance section where it shows bit by bit with pictures to solve the bouncing issue. I have both Black and Chrome housings and couldnt think about selling them. They are a great product with a little bit of work. And IMO well worth the money. Just my two cents. Hopes it helps.

    I have the same lights in black on my black GTP, I think they look awesome.

    I followed the DIY on fixing the bouce, worked great! Then I put a little weather stripping under the front of the headlight to adjust it.... and I have no problems seeing at night what so ever with these lights!
