Headlights

Does the non-xenon headlight housing for the 03-04sedan have a place to mount the ballast for the HID kit or do I specifically need the headlight that comes with the ballast already? Hope this makes sense. thanks in advance for the help.

I believe they have the same mounting place on the bottom.

Thanks, It's exactly like the euro spoiler but I got it cheap on ebay. Well I'm looking on going another route with the trunk spoiler. I have one in mind that I wanna mold on to the trunk....still up in the air..well see.

To be honest, right now I don't have the time to do another set. I'm working on a few other projects and trying to get my house ready to sell at the same time. Maybe a few months down the road I will have more time and can do some for others.

Send IvoryGT a PM. I don't think he has done any sedan lights yet because it is hard to aim them without the car and he has a coupe but his work on the coupe ones is amazing. I'm sure he can set up a way to make minor tweaks to the level once you get them back.

-Tim

I'm not sure about Ivory but if I remember a single retro is in the $800 range with parts and a dual setup is ~$2k. That was S2k and TL's.

Remember with a dual you need to get a second set of bulbs and ballasts on top of the other parts.
