yea, i been looking at those to. would look awesome on our cars.

BUT if you have stock Xenons, they will not work. thats what the ebay vendor said when i asked them... so you might want to double check that!

let me/us know what you end up doing!

I'm interested in those bad boys as well. Hopefully there is a solution to the whole factor Xenon's issue.

two things on the ebay projector headlights. First off is they are the DEPO brand they are good quality, the rest aren't very good. Second, you will need to replace the projector with a much sharper crisper Hella projector or one of the other OEM projectors for maximum perforamnce. I hear light output is not very good with the "stock" projectors it comes with, other then that quality of construction is very good.

I would only buy the the Depos one that are for HID. The other company's are junk. You will need to change out the lens with a 211 E55, BMW X5, Audi RSX or Acura TSX
You total cost will be around $900 with a lot of your own labor. If you want to make them have the spoke looked you can put the lens cover film from STICKERCITY.com. this will aslo protect against rocks and chips.

$900 seems pretty high, you should be able to get it done for $600 doing your own labor.

Well the lights are about $450 and the right lens are about $250 to $400 plus you have to buy sealers and other small stuff. Also you will need to spend $1100 if you don't have an oven to cook the lights with. LOL

I think the lights have gone down in price now, pretty sure I've seen them on eBay for under $300 now.
