Absolutely & they look great, direct replacement, they come with H3 bulbs for the projector

I have been looking into these, and what I would like to know is how do these work. What I mean is that stock are the hi/low beam bulbs (9007s). The projectors seem to have two bulbs in the lens. Is one the hi and one the low, or do you still have the hi/low combo with another bulb???

 

[idgcorp]

The large light is your Hi/Low standard 9007 bulb, the small one operates off of its own switch.

Thanks!!!!
One last question then. The small one then is the H3 bulb you mention above. I presume that would take the place of the "Driving Lamp" that people install say on their grill guards? What is beam it produces (wide, narrow, etc.)?

 

[idgcorp]

It does not take the place of a driving lamp unless you connect it that way. Mine come on as daytime runners and stay on. When it gets foggy or something I use the large beams. The beam is a narrow pinpont beam.

Have you had any problem with them getting moisture in them? I have heard where some people have had condensation and leaking problems with aftermarket headlamps. Of course, the factory ones will eventually but the aftermarkets seem to leak immediately from what I have heard.

No problem with mine. Dig em

Great. I am looking into these myself. I found a place that I can buy direct being I am a dealer. I'll see what I can buy them for and maybe if enought of you are interested we might be able to get a bulk discount on them. I'll check into it and see on Monday.

I called today and all they have are the crystal clear diamond pattern lamps. I spoke to the manager at Advanced Auto Parts and his price a 397.00 for the pair. They were also the APC brand, so the ebay price is really good. I have a few more options that I will check out too.

I'm a little confused. I'm looking at this projector light on ebay shttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7965526244&category=33710ome .

It says it's plug and play, no mods needed. But from reading this thread it looks like in order for the greyish looking light to work I would need to install a additional switch or somehow wire it so that it comes on when the car is running. Am I right about this?
Does this mean that if I don't do any additional wiring that this light will be inopporable?
