I think i might go with the street scene grills, i want my car to look the best it can. and for the projectors, if they bounce, ill use some weather stripping. only thing im nervous about is condensation in the projectors.

they are all the same cheap crap, just different distributers.

Concurred.

Agreed.

By the way I used to have the spyder projectors. They looked good at first because it was different than the stock lights. But after owning them after a year, I just got tired of the look, the bouncing and the other issues that plague these lights. Yes I did the fixes to eliminate most of them. But to me the stock lights still look much better. That is why I went back to stock lights.

On a side note, I have the black chrome street scenes and my brother has the black FIG grilles. They both look about the same. If you want to save a little cash then just get the FIG's. They are still a quality product.

DDM sucked.

IMO.

Had a crappy shipping AND packaging experience.

VVME is where its at.

I spent countless hours @ucking around with my projector lights (Spec-D) trying to get them to look and work correctly. I had to wire the halos, seal the lenses, weather striping on the bottom, installed brighter bulbs cuz the stock ones suck. I had halos burn out several times and no matter how I tried they always ended up getting condensation inside. the rubber boots rotted out within 6 months and the high beams were not adjustable and one pointed to the sky. Basically they look cool but are not practical in a wet and old environment. I ended up buying new OEM headlights / fog lights and installed 8000k HID's. I got my polished inserts from Figure Engineering. They fit pretty good but had to tweak them a little with bending them and it's not an easy install.

I like the look of the black CCFL projectors that i posted a link on but now i dont know because of everyones opinions. and for the FIG vs. Street Scene, i was going to get the Street Scene but i dont want to spend the money. if they both look about the same, then i should just go with the FIG

I'd wait for the GPO grilles to come back, some people are trying to get WBS to make them.

I had those, the guy is actually local to me. Live right down the street from me. I loved them on my car, until i got my car ran into by a semi and it took out my grills. I now have FIGs.

FIGs


I miss the light output of my projectors, but hated the look of them after awhile. Stock headlights with retros is where its at. I plan on doing retros soon with my black stockers.

Looks really good, but holy gaps!! What kind of fogs are those?

I agree! those are some nice fogs. the grills look pretty similar. im still debating what to get

The fog lights are Pilot fogs from Walmart. Glass housing. And I only have "gaps" on the headlights because they are aimed as high as possible and outward so i can actually see when driving. My HID's don't shine for ****. I want retrofits so bad.

You don't want clean to do them anyways and I'm pretty sure he quit doing them.

What size fogs? Direct fit or modification needed. Im guessing they don't just fit right up to stock brackets. How bout bulb size? Its either something like that or just get the blazetechs. But I think even with blazetechs they require some modification?

H3 bulbs, they are better than blazertech's IMO because they are cheaper and don't crack as easy like the Blazertech's do. Only "modification" needed is two holes drilled in the stock bracket and bolted to the new bracket for the Pilots. They are about the same size as stock housings. Here's a "write up" on the mounting, and a few important pics from that thread. It's pretty easy to do.
