You mean installing DDE? or you bought the projector headlight assembly to replace your factory HIDs?

Yes. The beam pattern is all funky and all over the place. It seemed too yellow and the install isn't true plug and play. The fitment issues are also annoying. And on top of it all, after I took mine out, I noticed that the stock lights have a much better output.

The bean patter suck coz i doesn't light up the ground properly but the fitment is perfect for 2k~2k1, no gap at all.

It's plug & play except for the Angel Eye.

You only need PIAA Spark blue 7500K or PIAA super plasma to reach the HID "look". I got mine installed already and they "look" awesome, but not safe to drive with.

I still have a problem with the Angel Eye. Do i buy ground wire and connect to the + and - of the battery directly? Coz I'm thinking of using a switch instead so I can turn them on and off. Any help is appreciated.

Woo, I'm going down to that meet in the Philly area on Sunday. If you could bring them along so I can take a look at them. I'll show you how to put them in. But as far as wiring them up. The D2R bulb isn't really going to fit into the projector. And if it does fit, the beam pattern won't really work for normal driving. Probably no light on the road all in the eyes of on-coming traffic. I'm sure you can make it work, just retrofit some valeo projectors and switch to D2S bulbs. PHXBlu has done it before yet he still switched back to stock.
