Default Better HID Headlights

Costs $700. Also by Xe7R 7" Round HID Bi Xenon (low & high beam).
Except it's not a projector so you won't have the ugly silver surroundings (unless that's your thing)

Well buddy, if you want HID, and don't want to mess with cutting wires, trying to fit diffent type of headlights (such as H4) and worry about glare, eventually getting pulled over and high beamed tons of times, then sure....

Oh, did I mention quality???

I think i will hold on these until they put them in stock. with the sealed roof and stiffer plastic.

The idea is nice but wow, that is pricey. I guess if you have a need for it or to spend that much it's all cool, but i cant justify it to myself when i have functioning (legal) headlights any more than i can justify to the better half my need to replace brand new tires.

All I had to do was re-aim mine, they were too high from the factory.

I did read in Consumer Reports that the factory headlights were given only a "Fair" rating.
