I'm looking to swap my OEM Halogen housing to a projector housing w/ HIDs. Admittedly I'm trying to go the cheapest route without having to buy a whole OEM Projector setup. Anyone try these? They say they come prewired with HIDs in them.

Why the picture shows 2 right housing is beyond me...

People have tried the headlights, but I don't think that anyone, at least that I have seen, has tried the headlights WITH the optional HID.

I have the headlights coming next week and have seen some installed (there are other threads in the mod subforum regarding this) and they look great...but I'd be really surprised if anyone has done this exact setup yet.

If you do it, you might be the first!

Well I found two different ones but both are the same design.

^ shows that the headlights actually have a cutoff and are DOT/SAE approved.

^ wasn't able to find any information about the headlights being street legal...

When you do get your set and install them can you post pics or pm me with pics. I'm curious to see how they look.
