i think it would be cheaper to open your headlights and paint the housing black. that and there may be fitment issues

If you're going to get aftermarket you could get the projector ones and some cheap HIDs and have them be (half) useful.

i'd pick them up and try them out, unless you can get your hands on set of OEM SE lights that look similar.

I would think aftermarket projectors with HIDs are still better and safer than HIDs in reflector bowls.

Like many said, OEM >. Might as well bake it open, black house. While you're at it, with the work involved retro.

the ebay projectors are crap. HID or halogen they're crap.
I've had them......and now they sit in my garage loft, and i'm back to my OEM SE's which look a million times better.
