Re: HID Headlights

If you buy aftermarket lamps that you like that have anything but a glass housing, you can retrofit the lamps to a projector if you have fabrication skills... if not the acurrent aftermarket is garbage. If you decide to retrofit, you will have to cut up the new headlights, headlight buckets, and core support. It can be done, as I have done it but with a 90 burban clip..
I used a projector housing and fitted it to the back of the headlight, fabed up some mounts, made the core support hole barley big enough to fit the new assembly through and a quick wiring job with a relay and done. Light output is clean, no glare and OE like.
