Don't waste your money on these, go HID.

You can get HID's off eBay or anywhere but if you wanted to do it right retro fit projectors your factory lights...the whole set up is about 350 bucks...prob going to do it to mine I will post the link up later when I get back to my computer

Buy them from Jon on here and a retrofit is nice, but not necessary.

It's a very involved process. I have a walk-through on here somewhere from when I did mine. Basically - take lenses off, take out the bulb cone, install projector, adjust aim, test, secure, and reassemble housing. that's the 10 second crash course, the real process for a first time retro job is in the 4-6 hour range (assuming you have exactly what you need and a confident understanding of what you're doing.)

I can build you a set so you can keep your OEM housings if you're more interested in that. I'll edit this and add a link to my post.

I couldn't hunt mine down - here's MSall's post, perfectly informative and should help you. In the future check out the "All things HID" sticky, nearly any and all questions that can be asked are there.
