Oh....cuz I know someone that has a set of brand new black housings for sale!


Umm...do what i did when i was doing my retrofit....I worked on one headlight while the other one was still on my car...so i drove around with one headlight. The when I was done the retrofit on the first head light, i installed it back on the car and took the other one off and did the same thingall over again! haha

May seem a bt ghetto, but why waste money on another set of head lights?:thumbsup:

Weapon_R: $200 brand new!


Retrofitting is modifying head lights to fit HID projectors. These projectors you normally find in cars such as BMW, Benz, Audi...etc Usually it's done to head lights that normally doesnt have HID's or Projectors!

Basically it means installing a projector lens from a vehicle equipped with HIDs from the factory into a headlight so that the light beam from the HIDs is beamed properly.

Not sure if 96-98 ones are the same, but I got a set for $20. JDM Style ones (no amber reflector strip). You could try 'em out...
