Yes. And don't listen to phtalo about getting a new front clip.....unless you feel like spending thousands of dollars extra.

It's quite a common conversion, as lots of HTer's have done it. It's not that hard to do, but there are a few options.

1) The fiberglass replica, which includes all parts in fiberglass is much cheaper. But then again, you have to deal with the many disadvantages of fiberglass.
2) The sheetmetal option. This will be your best one, but also most expensive.
3) Non-HID projector housings
4) HID projector housings
5) And getting the actual HID system themselves.
6) Don't quote me on this, but I believe several years have "different" style headlights, some having a darker tint to them.

hard. not fun. not for the faint of heart either. you drill out three spot welds on the top of each side, one underneath each side, and two on the bottom of the middle of the support. the middle two can just be cut. theres a HUGE difference between looking at pretty pictures on a how-to and doing it yourself.

with that said...lol dont be scurred. it wasnt THAT hard.

no, i didnt, but you learn pretty quick. practice welding on your old radiator support once its off to get the hang of it.

and paint your welds.
