look in the yellow circle, that doesn't look plug n play at first glance, but if it comes with that harness on there then it is. i would think you'd reuse your factory stuff, but if not then that's good. the pics above make it more clear that they come with a harness.

i think they look more luxury and more stock then the other ones.. cept the ccfl bar if that was taken out with just the 3 led's there it would be really stock looking ... i just wish they made some of these for the ion

Cool man thanks for the pics. Even though I have halos i'm going get these. In black of course. They look 10X better than these old ones. I'm sick of the halos working when they feel like it, leds turning off and then coming back when they want to, etc.

Is the lens glass cuz the markings on it are exactly the same as my stock ones? I doubt it though. Thats a lot more expensive material.

Down ladies! LOL

Here are some more pics:

If you are looking for a place for the lead to go through without having to go through the boot....good luck. The wires on the left (blue, white, and black) are for the headlight bulbs themselves, and there is no more room for anymore wires. It is a boot for the wires, but it completely encases the wires and leaves no room for anymore wires to go through. The only way to get the leads through is to cut a small hole in the big rubber cover. I would suggest cutting it at the bottom edge so that you minimize the chances of water getting into the lens.



One more thing I noticed, they have put one of those chicklet things that absorb wetness inside the lens on the bottom. You know those little white packets you get with electronics to absorb any dampness? They actually glues one onto the bottom of the inside of the lens casing. It does not affect the lights whatsoever and I think is a GREAT idea.

Also, the lens is not glass. And if I am correct, the stock ones were not glass either.

And the halos are CCFL, not LED.

The H7 is a much larger bulb then the H1, so the hole for the lightbulb is much larger on the lens. All HID's are the same size, so there should not be a problem for the return lead on the HID bulb to fit into place. Again I will confirm that Friday because I have to get a new set of H7 HID bulbs for my car.

-8C is bearable, not -25C. Especially with the wind.

Do they really look aggressive like the other projectors? And can you just slip the new bulb sin or is drilling still required? yay for 2 bulb sizes!
As was said earlier, I think that they look a lot more cleaner and luxurious. A lot less "clutter" inside the lens.

No drilling is required, the bulbs come out and go back in with ease.

No grinding should be needed to fit the HID bulbs. If you wait until Friday, I will tell you for certain how they fit. Just relax, take a deep breath, and wait a couple of days.
