New headlights

I replaced the old headlights with these from eBay. I wired the AE so that they will be on whenever the key is in position I or II.

Seller is Voltex, bought them for $219 shipped. They fit fine using all the existing mounting points. I have to modify the low beam opening to fit H7 HID bulb. HID kit is from DDM. Make sure you get the AE harness since the lights didnt come with any wire for AE, and no instruction whatsoever.
Overall much better than the OEM Halogen. With the LED tailights, they really improve the car look.

The kinda look like they are trying to be a facelift headlight. Looks great man!

Thanks for the info. Did you get the AE harness from DDM or Vortex?

I've got the same headlights. Installed for a day and now they're back out -- horrible cutoff and lack of seals make me want to mod them before putting them back on. You also need an AE harness; I got mine from DDM, but the plugs don't fit the headlights so I'm now searching for new connectors. I'll get to fully modifying them one day.

For $220, I really happy with them. I planned to take out the halogen projector anyway and retrofit a xenon projector but that is for another time -- or maybe when I'm taking apart the headlights to modify them to work. Who knows?
