Oh man....



To answer your question, no, do not get the projectors. Sit back and do some reading in here and you will find out why.

they cost around $220 everywhere man, so i doubt you could find them anywhere cheaper..they sure do look much better than the oems..but not quite as good as the 02 hid's...but then again they cost 4 times less ..i love mine

but in the future id reallly like to get a pair of 02 hids lights. clear them..paint them black and get angel eyes for them..maybe next year though

very much worth it, or you can do what i did. get the AE headlight housings and hid them bishes up, by doing what i did u gain the security of not getting ur lamps stolen.

In my opinion, the projectors are worth it. I hate the look of the oem lights, and i don't want HID if it's reflector based (like the 5.5gens). I'm retrofitting a pair of X5/e39 projector lenses into my ebay lights to achieve maximum light output. In the end i'll end up paying about $500-$550 for lights that blow away 5.5gen. I really thought about getting the 2k2 lights but the brightness,cutoff, and color of projectors (especially bosch, hella, and valeo) are unequalled.

Yes the ebay lights are kinda cheap, but with a little modification you can blow everyone's 2k2 lights out of the water... Once you become a member, search for Dr. roy's projector mod....
