thats like the half (ebay) whistler mod. I bought mine years ago and they weren't being sold for a while. Good to see they started selling them again.

So those are the headlights on the car in your sig pic?

Do you have some more pictures? I'm thinking of buying these... I could still do the 'rest' of the whistler mod to these, that way if I mess up and melt them in the oven or something, I still have the stock headlights...

That is the ebay whistler. IMO its better if you just open them and do it the normal way but this is the best possible way around that.

Oh dont be scared to do the mod. its EASY like a HS chick! haha Ive done it to three sets now and havent messed one up yet. It takes me about 25 minutes. (most of that is the paint drying) and costs about 8 bucks to do. save your money and do that. the worst thing that could happen is you buying this kit like your already planning on doing.

Best of luck bro!

^ dont forget to sum the shipping. to the OP this is semi whistler. usually people paint everything except wts behind the bulb jst like chris said. if you already have your lights its cheaper to do it yourself its a pretty easy job.

I bought the set off Amazon glhs422 posted, they were pictured just as "half" the whistler mod. Got them in the mail this week and to my suprise they are the FULL whistler mod.


I hit a deer last year and have been driving around with a busted housing since. Figured this was a good way to kill two birds with one stone. I'll get some pics of them before I put them on.
