In order to get the all clear, you'd have to buy a set of 00-02 projector headlights and open them up using the oven method.

Headlights made after 02 cannot be baked using the oven method.

Well I can tell you only ONE member on here that I know of has actually put those headlights on his car.

I would find a set of headlights to clear out rather than choosing those aftermarket type lights, and also if you do go the aftermarker route, then imo i would take the black colour instead of the chrome ones (too much bling=cheap).

I agree. Nothing looks better than OEM. Don't go for aftermarket. You're better off looking for some sport xenon headlights with clear corners than buying aftermarket ebay stuff IMO.

Actually primetime I started off w/ non sport halogens and was able to buy the sport Xenon headlight, ballasts, etc on ebay. Complete plug and play (w/c you can do easily with OEM kits). Mine had a litlle condensation and watermarks inside the lens when I went in the car wash. I baked and opened up the lens, cleaned it and accidentally knocked off the waffles so I decided to take them off and here's the result:



Here's a bigger pic:
