id have to agree the shrouds look very off! they cant be the same shroud. can you take a pic of them on your car to show how they sit? also where would you get the materials for this kinda stuff. i seen these halo lenses on EBAY and stuff. But as of right now the best options i seen are the ones that SD Genius posted. so far they look quality and oem direct fits.

I used the ebay headlights. I have an 03 and park outside. So, i figured it would be a good idea to get oem because of the hazing issues. As for the projectors, its not a finished product yet, im waiting for bulbs to be shipped to my house so i can plug them in and get them aimed. This was just a quick shot for me to get an idea of what itll look like. I will post pictures of the results when they are in.

as for the materials, you can get a new headlight housing for an 04 for around 140 dollars on ebay, youd have to reseal them, but thats a given since you are doing a retrofit. As for projector materials, i would personally recoomend www.theretrofitsource.com they are fast, easy, and informative. If you have any questions regarding the materials, they will let you know. O yea, they ship for free i believe

hmm, ive seen oem 06 coupe projectors where the inside of the lens started having tiny cracks, could that be the same issue? do you know if the oem lenses are interchangeable with the ebay ones?
and to everyone that is buying ebay lights, you Must reseal them.

so finding the headlights and projectors like the pictures that you sent SD GENIUS, for around 400 bucks is just outta the question? i haven't checked the market place but i wouldn't think this would be a popular item on there. most want just brand new since its going to make your whole car stand out different for sure its a huge detail that i think will make the car pop even at semi stock.

with these lights can you tell a real difference in your ability to see? or are they as good as stocks? and is this retro fit a actual sight or is it just the term you all are using? and its nice to see some pics on this from a lot of people i appreciate your participation! thank you everyone! just let me know im more details as to how you went about this and where things were purchased from please. that would help me out great. also off topic if there is any knowledge of installing after market headers on the the sedan that would be great as well.

Strafe just posted these Non-HID headlights. they have just enough flashiness w/o being ricey IMO. the money you save picking these up, you could prob pick up some really nice pure white halogen bulbs for your low beam and some yellow fog bulbs and still have some money left over.
