Fitment wasn't ideal on mine, had to angle them up to have usable headlights, and the hood would pinch them back down when i closed it anyway. but the light output was very nice, it was strange how there would be a definite line at the top of the headlight beam.

got em off ebay for i think under a couple hundred bucks, don't really remember.

I know about fit ment issues lol. I had to cut the bulb mounting circle off my clear corners (got off ebay) and move them around and glue them back because the slots for the bulb housing were cut in the wrong spot. I think I may try to find some on ebay and see how they work out.

As stated in my last post i got my projectors, clear corners, and HIDs(came with 2 year warranty) all off ebay and they all fit and look great. No Cutting or modifications needed.

I grabbed some off of ebay as well, I've liked them so far. They're much brighter and more clear than the originals.

I have had projectors in many vehicles and i wasnt a big fan. Not bright enough for me. But a buddy has some with a Hid and they seem to pretty bright. I tryed the silverstars and they help alot.
