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

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.
