I was thinking about getting those headlights, but holding off because of the bubbling defect on them. Of course, if you wait for a fixed one, they might not be no sale any more.

Get the headlights while they are on sale man. I bought the stripped version. Had to transfer my bulbs and ballast over. Not that hard just time consuming. The loaded is plug and play.

Conversion is definitely do-able. Between headlights and tailights you should be spending about $2,000 which isn't too bad for what it does to the car.


The headlights will be a direct fit, the tail lights not so much. There will be a tab that you must shave or bend out of the way for the tail lights to seat properly, its easy though. And make sure if and when you get the taillights you also get the harnesses, as the ones on your stock taillights wont work.

no the headlight came with harness, if you already have the HID lights all you have to buy the striped lights and save money on the ballasts and bulbs, but If you don't know hoe the remove the ballasts from the old lights, it is kinda pita to remove, so buy the loaded one is easy, and worry free

That's Sewell price, our CL member discount which you have to register there with your CL name and you will have any other CL member discount only on that site, and you have to use the promotion code in order to have $600 discount on MY2012 retrofit headlamp set. The code is 87LEX12, and that will expire at September 03 2012. Make sense?
