Did you go from a stock halogen 04 setup or did you have the earlier set of HID's without the projector? Did you incorporate the autoleveling into your system? If you don't mind me asking, how did you get a hold of a set and what did it cost you? Thanks, really want to do this.

To upgrade from halogen to xenon is a HUGE job, to do it correctly with wash and self leveling, engine bay loom swap etc...

just happen so, one of the connector (to the bulb) has a broken pin, so i have to replace that.

So if you already have xenons it's just plug and play? Anyone know what it would cost to get a pair?

Thanks
