do not buy these. all they are are cheap fog lights built into cheper plastic housings. if you want projectors then do a retrofit.

all the parts needed to do a complete projector retrofit can be had from this link below.

I am too, hopefully by next summer. Milky (love that name by the way) are you gonna do the work yourself? I don't know if that's something I wanna risk, personally. I'm talking about me doing my car, not saying that you shouldn't do yours.

the swap is really not that hard. the worst part is the wiring for the headlights, and even that is very very simple. just a bumper and headlight swap is really all it comes down to. there are step by step guides out there for it, such as vamps site. so as long as you follow the directions you will be fine.

and thanks for the compliment on the name. i have grown fond of it over the years. mostly cus im so white i make paper look tan. i sometimes joke about being half albino.. lol
