Thread: 97-03 headlight replacment

So i currently have some 55w 6000k hid's in my stock headlight housing. I was kinda expecting more from them, and i think my housing is the problem. One of my housings has tons of moisture and its so foggy i can't even see the bulb from all the moisture and little cracks. The other housing has a little moisture and lots of tiny cracks. So i can get OEM style replacements from zzp for like $60, or i can get some of those spyder brand projectors. So what would you guys do, go with the oem style headlights with HID's or spend the extra on some projectors. Also, do projectors with HID's give better light output than oem headlights with HIDs?

Retrofit. Best
Stock housing with hid. Great.
EBay projectors. Worst.

Get the stock housings and hids preferably 5k and be happy with bright lights.

yeah i was looking at the how-to for retrofitting morimoto minis into the 97-03 headlights and i was considering it. But there seemed to be some modifications to the projectors you have to make, and im not sure if i could do it properly. I think ill just get the stock headlights cause the guy who wrote the how-to said its best to start with new headlights and heard too that TRS has a good black friday sale, so i was thinking about maybe buying the stock headlights and then retorfitting them in a few weeks if a good enough deal comes out

are those the same thing as zzp sells?

Would these work good in Stock housings? (No retro)

I bought two sets of headlights off of eBay.

You get what you pay for. That is all.
