I heard that there was a problem about oil-leaking into the spark plug thingy. Is this prevalent?

same here. Sucks you can't just replace the gasket. you have to replace the whole valve cover and they are not cheap either. about $180-$200 dependint on which side it is. I think the side with oil filler is more.

ohh we can do that if we have a extra housing. I actually got a extra 06 lights (only the right side) so we can use that for practice if we want. Its cracked and damaged so we can mess around w/ it. Basicly i only have the 06 projector assemblies so i need to mod it into my 03 lights. theres a tutorial we can follow except the thread is a bit old so pics don't work xD

i'm down to get this thing started and if anyone else needs this done your welcome to join and help
