DO NOT USE AFTERMARKET PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS!



That said, I'm assuming you are referring to the ones or style of "ebay" headlights. They are nothing but pure trash and look tacky and ugly as hell. In FACT you are very fortunate to even have OEM h.i.d. headlights, alot of members here would kill for that. If you desire to do anything to your headlights do NOTHING BUT a proper Retrofit projector of only good quality.

Im sure just 95% of CL owners will agree with me on this one. When i see 2gs's with those aftermarket projector headlights (ebay) they usually complement 24" wheels and zebra stripped seat covers....

How in the world did u get your hands in a retrofit and not know how to plug um up? Not that i don't believe you... It's just that almost everyone who does get a retrofit or does one usually does a lot of research prior.

Post up pics
