Projectors = because they just suck...the only thing you could do is retrofit new projectors. The lights use FOG bulbs for god sakes...

Id go with the ones off ebay. Cheaper or you could buy oem clear ones and blackhouse them urself. Unless you wanna retrofit the projectors.

i dont like the light output i dont like how the angel eyes dont work i dont like how hey fit and i dont like the way the plastic is corroding around the running lights. but i love the black houseing that is about it. i want to match the tails that is why i was looking at black. i took the projectors off a car that my buddy was working on at a nissan dealer and pu mine on that car at the time it was the right thing to do but you live and learn. thanks for the replies by the way

I would shop your local junkyard since there a lot of 5th gens out there. It takes about 30 minutes of actually work to convert from a clear housing to black. There are also a couple witeups on here on how to do it. It also isnt that big of deal if they are a little pitted, scratched, or hazy. This can be cure by a 15 minute wet sand. I am just suggesting this for two reasons. One it is an easy DITY and it is a cheap route since you said you were in a pinch in the money department.

You get what you pay for, and those look pretty cheap. I'd do the AE mod like others are mentioning.
