Didn't quite like the pure stock '01s. And here I thought except for a matte black wrap, I was almost done spending on her, LOL!

Reconsidering projectors, but these are only a 3.9⭐ rating... at $28... would be put into a black housing I think, to go w the black matte wrap. Think this truck will be my last car.

I'm about to embark on a projector retrofit on my Lexus. I'm doing a Morimoto set that was 20% off on Black Friday.

Hmmm. Okay - but unless someone didn't notice and did have luck with their installation, there's no reasonable way to know. Amazon is tightening up their return policy... but the order-try-return-wait for returned funds, loop, is enough to drive someone loopy.

Open to suggestions on any aspect of headlights, '01 or not, Amazon or not. Will listen to any price, but personally have to stay pretty close to two digits, or just a tad over.

Last month Nov 15th, Amazon sent a truck and refunded me later the same day after pickup. That was huge....4' x 3' box. Only took 5 minutes on line to set up. I'm diggin the new policy.

This is the same set I'm replacing, so they 100% do fit. Also, the description states so. RockAuto, I trust for fitment info. Amazon, notsomuch.
