    Hello everybody,
    I have a question towards headlights. At the moment i have these:
    Spyder Auto | Pontiac Grand Prix 97-03 LED 1PC Projector Headlights - Chrome

    Came with the car from previous owner. Problem is the holding/mounting bracket(frame) is falling apart. I got a soddered bottle cap on passengers side on one hole and a hole in th bracket on drivers side to hold it. In addition the passangers side is kinda just sitting there because half of the frame broke of recently after i installed new bulbs.

    Now on to concern,
    I have H3 8000k bulbs that i recently put in. Can i fit these in a stock headlight unit with out retrofitting( to expensive and way outof my knowlege area) or should i just buy another set of spyder headlights? Im also wondering if spyder would sell me just the Headlight frame cause that the reason that these are going to crap.. So i appreaciate your guys input and hopefully you can help me decide!

    To fix the ****ty frame go buy a stock headlight assembly bracket..they will fit perfectly and yes the hids will fit in your stock headlights( if you choose to go back to stock)

    Im not sure about the stock headlight bracket being a direct fit... i think tomorrow i will run to the junkyard and pull one of to compare. Although i wouldnt mind replaced with stock headlights now that i know they will work with the H3 HIDS. honestly i kinda hate the projectors... they are falling apart and the fitment is mediocre at best And one of them needs to be resealed -___-. Plus my car is black on black so smoked stock headlights would be sweet... and maybe they will actuallly be aimed right instead all cock-eyed.

    I had them aimed before I installed the H3 bulbs... but after putting them in.. they went back to being cock eyed. one side is almost literally pointing down at the ground -___-. and i dont even like discussing the aiming onmy highbeams lol. Lets just say it looks like only one hedlight...

    ya my left one points far off to the right and my right one points way off to the left , and fully adjusted height would only light up the road about two ft in front of the car. My fogs light up further. I have jimmyd them enough so i can see at night, but when your payn that kinda money for lights you shouldn't have to jimmy. Im just gonna buy stock and smoke them myself.
