buy a set of depos and replace the stockers. Then retro in a set of hid projectors and use chrome parts for the shroud instead of abs to make them chrome looking.

you obviously dont know what you are talking about
what does that bluish ball look like to you? oh yeah, its a hid projector
the halogen part of it is the high beam, and all the projectors are like that on pretty much all cars ive seen

I dont know what im talking about? Those are halogen projectors. Theres a difference between halogen and hid projectors. Those look like ebay projectors, and if they are then they are halogen. You can pull the stock projectors out and put in a set of hid projectors, but they are not sold like that.

F are you talking about? not sold like that? what are you talking about.. lay off the crack dude
all the projectors on ebay are sold like that, all hid projectors.. and the ebay projectors are the same ones that modern sells for a higher price.
everyone on this forum who has ebay projectors or modern projectors and have put a hid kit in them for the most part doesnt have anything bad to say, so what on earth are YOU talking about ....

you're wrong, sorry to say. those projectors are Halogen projectors, all ebay projectors like that are.
you CAN put an HId kit in them, BUT, they're not true HID projectors. The projectors use a halogen bulb, thats the way they were designed, but there are HID kits available to go in halogen projectors.
please do us all a favor and know what you're talking about before running around and telling people to lay of the crack and that they dont know what they are talking about when you yourself have no clue.
dont mean to be harsh, but you dont know jack either boss, sorry...
TRUE hid projectors dont use H# or HB# or 900# bulbs. They ONLY use D1S, D2S, or D4S xenon burners... You'll never find an HID projector that doesnt (and if you do, someone's lying to you...)
boxcarfan:
Go with the ones modern sell and get an HID kit from BlackRoseRacing, he's running a groupbuy for them. Check the Vendor section or PM him about it.
