I'm assuming you want to use these projectors to retrofit on your GS right? In that case, the answer would be no. These projectors are for Halogen bulbs, no matter how much the vendor says you can put an h7 HID bulb in there Your cut off will be horrible and visual gains will be minimal.

just go to ebay man, pic a car you like the projectors on and get them you can find some decent ones for under $80 bucks and sometimes you'll run across people who dont know the value of them and sell them for $40 bucks y I got me a sweet pair of bixenon projectors off the 350z for my other car for only $40 bucks also check the classifieds im sure you'll find some there as well.

Just make sure the projectors are for HID bulbs. Some examples I've seen of retrofits into 2GS headlights include: LS430 (common), LS460, TSX, S2000, and Q45 to name a few. People have chosen different projectors for different preferences. Do you want increased aesthetic appeal? Improved light output? Cutoff? Color? Bi-xenon?

Do a search and you'll find tons of info. Then you should decide from there what you really want.
