THIS and THIS

yeah, please do a search... they don't have HID projectors which has been discussed thoroughly. they don't make any aftermarket headlight for the gen 5 with HID projectors, only halogen projectors.

Any aftermarket headlights purchased on eBay are crap and like stated above, even though it says HID, its just a halogen projector. Same as what you have, but looks different, painted black and cheaper in quality. If you want full HID, go for retrofit. Thats the true HID

I wanted to avoid retrofit but it seems like this is the only way to go. Could someone recommend some good quality components that will produce decent light projection and wont be hard to install. (I'm reading post on the forum but it will take a time to chew thru all that info).

www.hidplanet.com is where you'll find all your retrofitting needs. there are also people/companies who will do the retrofit for you. All you provide is headlights and get your own harness, ballast and bulbs. You can ask them to include but will cost additional.

Isn't this Punks' headlights? Or similar to his? I heard the projectors are crappy, no offense to Punks or anybody else who has this tho.
