Default New HIDs and grille
Didn't really take many pictures of the grille, it just happens to be in there Eventually I'm gonna paint the outside red of the grille; I just put it on there to test fit it.

Yeah too bad these headlights didn't come factory with projectors/cutoffs. I don't like the projectors on ebay

You can install projectors into the factory housings
(But you'd need non-halo housings)
Here is an example:

+1 def do projectors. There are still ways you can retrofit a projector into those housings and have a halo ring.

I've considered that also but I still think the halos look goofy with the projectors in there. At least the ebay ones are somewhat molded into the headlights
