^Agreed. Whistler mod is the way to go. There's a couple good how-to guides around here. Eventually I'll get the guts to put mine in the oven and do it.

yeah do the whistler its super easy, i did mine a few weeks ago and was real happy with how they turned out, just follow a write up and you will be good to go, one thing i did was paint behind my brights black, i never use them and made for a way darker appearance

another thing i did was paint the back of the lights black so they look better in the engine bay, imo its a win ,win, get better looking lights and looks better under the hood

Are your lenses just "cloudy"? If that the case just go to your local parts store and pick up Mothers Healight Restore...25 bucks and it does wonders..

If the lights are hazed over beyond repair then just get the one's you posted. They are the exact same thing as the whistler mod.

Definitely Whistler mod. With aftermarket lights, the alignment of the beams is basically luck of the draw. Keep your factory lights and mod them.

I know this has nothing to do with your question but does anyone know of a set of headlights with a projector in it? I like the stock look with the black inlays...the halos are so lame but they are the only ones with a projector as far as I can find.
