If someone's interested in getting retrofits for their car, this is a PERFECT solution and it's relatively CHEAP. As far as the angel eyes are concerned - hello- if you don't like them, just don't hook up the wires that power them. if you want some projector retrofits - buy these and buy an HID kit for it and you're DONE!!

I like the whole idea of a retrofit however, if I break my headlights for some reason then I will have to pick up used ones which would cost at least $400. This is the reason that turns me away from the retrofit. Plus my mom would KILL me if she sees my headlights in the oven!!! LOL!!! What's for dinner...2000 GS400 headlights with plastic on the side!!!

Those headlights are a great platform to do your own retrofit. They already have projectors and shrouds in them so that makes a retro really easy. All you gotta do is swap the projectors out for some HID ones and you're set. I'm sure the price of those lights will drop to the $300 range within the year. Also, there will probably be at least 5 different versions of aftermarket headlights by then as well. Still though, I don't quite like the look of those headlights lol. The halo's are too freakin small. Maybe the next version released will look better.
which is not good, I'd rather do a retro for $500.
The ebay lights do look cheap. I'd rather spend the extra coin and get the Q45 done.. Thats just my opinion

but if u disconnect the halo's....would they really look that bad? i mean the black ones are hideous...but the chrome ones would look decent if u unhook the halo.
i dunno what to do!!!

I agree that the black one looks crappy, but 1st ones don't look bad. I'd have to see them in real life.
I've been thinking of doing a retrofit in the future. These are tempting because I'd DEFINITELY buy a second set of headlights which can cost from $200-500. Retrofitting would take me at least 12 hours of my time. That's easily worth the difference in price. I've already got a plug and play kit, so I could just put my 9006 bulbs in these.
I wouldn't hook up the angel eyes though.
