Projector Headlamps for '00?

I don't have access to the search, so I'm wondering what the general feeling is about the Projector Headlamps sold by Custom Enterprises. How's the quality? Do they fit 2ks, or only 2k2/3s? If anyone can direct me to a review of them or anything, that'd be greatly appreciated.

Many org members have bought these headlamps months ago. They fit 00 with no problem. 02 and 03 just leaves alittle gap. Most say the lighting is weird but all agree they look great. Hope this helps.

The beam pattern is weee bit off, and it's also noticeable where the individual beams from both units merge together. It's really not that big of a deal, and everyone agrees it's a pretty minor thing. They look downright beautiful, I can't wait to get mine.

So 2muchMax's projectors are stock, you can then swap out the bulbs for some PIAAs to get other colors out of them, and then.. what effect does the blue vs clear lens have on the projector?

Also I read that some have switched the projector out for a xenon valeo projector, any links or write ups on this? Pricing, etc.

Yeah I haven't gotten around to changing the bulbs, I don't know what I want to do with them yet! I really want to do something with HIDs though. I've heard the valeo projectors are costly though.

Yea its expensive and time consuming.
If you would be interested in swapping out the halogen for the valeo you would have to open up your headlight, cut out a hole in the back, place the valeo inside the headlight and secure it with either glue or screws. Then you would need to glue the back where you cut the hole in your headlight to make sure no air would come in and its very secure after you would install your hid system and aim your projectors. Thats just an overall summary of what you would need to do if you are really intereted in getting a write up i say either contact the org members who have already did this or go to hidforum.com and read up on other peoples write ups.
