Those are 00-03 lights just without the amber with AE's, you just need to open your lights and remve the amber and waffles and sticks AE's to get that look.

Some of us interpreted what you wrote as wanting the newer post-facelift headlights that are available in some markets with clear turn signal lenses and do require new front bumper, hood, and front clips to fit.

Your answers would have been immediately available as the angel eyes and clearing the amber mods are quite commonplace indeed. Do a search for angel eyes and you can read up on how to do them. There are a few places here that will do it for you but it might be tough since you're in Oz.

Yes I have xenons, I don't know if your X has them, if not, I know that a few folks have changed out their halogens for them.

I just completed the mod (minus the AEs)...very easy & what a differance :thumbup:.....one suggestion - once you have the headlight assy removed make sure you clean the underside near the side marker - you can't see it with the amber lense installed but you CAN see it with them removed...I found out the hard way and had to remove the assy an additional time to clean the lense :doh:

Is this chrome part around low beam projector actually already behind waffles? Or you need to purchase it separately?

That's not chrome, it's just the reflection of glass of the lightbulb.

Not so lucky, you need the fenders, front bumper and new styled headlights.

So I assume it's already behind waffles correct?
