im assuming that you're asking for a 4th gen? for me i would perfer a REAL retrofit with better projectors, but if you don't feel comfortable in doing the work or not enough money to pay for someone to do it for you then i would go with the ebay projectors.

if you're asking about a 5th gen i've never seen a retro headlight that is made massly by a company.

I saw it once in my friend's car.

Nice maybe when new, but after some months no more.

Humidity entering the housing etc. Poor quality on general.

Better to stay away and wait to collect the $ for real jdm lamps IMHO...

Stay Away From These!

I bought some like last year and within a week or two there was already water in the housing. The beam sucked on them, very poor light output. One of them had a crack in the projector thing and the other one's high beam would blow the fuse everytime.

Spend the extra and get the JDM's which look and are x100 better then these.

I dont like my projectors they barly light up the road. The only cool thing is my car looks like a tiggy from the front at night. The way you can stop the water from going in the light is be resealing them it worked for me. I want to get some fact jdm's they go for like $250.this is my car

sorry to jack this thread but my jdm lights put out a very poor (but legal) amount of lite but as i want to keep the one piece jdm light would it be possible to convert these to HID's by stealing parts from a bmw or audi?

this may also be an option for other people who need more light and a nice look.
