what should I do...

Got a question on outside appearance modifications. Questions about body kits, exterior lighting, just anything thats a visual mod on the "exterior" of the car. Ask those questions here.

Should I go with for new headlights styling???

Swap out for the MP black projectors with a style of eyelids

Yeh I agree with you. I was all about not getting the chrome....but after I PS'ed it, it actually looks pretty decent. But oh well, the black ones are better anyways. lol So when will you be getting a pair?

i hope here in a week or two.. I need to order new HID bulbs to work in those.. Going with the 4500k or 5000k H1's...

I currently have the 8000k bulbs right now...


so 190 for the lights and 200 for the new bulbs.

Holy crap dude, that is high, projectors can come around $120 shipped from ebay, and the bulbs are like $8 on ebay too (bulbs only though) I am guessing the $200 is for the whole HID kit included right? Anyways, I would say get 5000k, I like the purest white it looks pretty. And the projector lights already come pretty bright so I don't think you will need HID but if you want to, it's up to you.

oh yeh I forgot to PS your current TYC with eyelids, let me do that real quick

its 189 from Modern Performance ( which is here by me) if anything goes wrong, then I"m not too far.

for the same company HID bulbs (true HID) are actually 160 ( just checked the site)

I can get the ebay ones, but I want a warranty and somewhere I can take it if it breaks you know??

The chrome ones make your car look possessed. but then again i've always been a fan of the black projectors...Not too sure about the eyelids though. They just don't stick out enough is how it appears to me.
