either go with retrofit headlights or if you really think you have to get the cheapy projectors go with at least the gen 4's. those are the ones without halos in them. all the others either are bad quality with light projection or leak.

I have Gen 1's. They are good with Hids in them.
Perfect cut-off line. The beam pattern is not as bright as retrofits would be. But still a huge improvement over stock.

I also put CCFL Halos in them and resealed them.

by that time you'd be better off just having retrofits.

yea they do, it matches the upper grill, ill find you the link one sec....

also go to autozone and get a cabin filter and change yours out. it takes 2 seconds, the part is only 12 bucks and youll be amazed at how dirty the stock one is.

the cabin filter filters the air that goes into your car when the vents are turned on.

open your glove box, youll see two pieces in a track that is what keeps the door from falling out when you lower it, push those in with your fingers and the glove box will swing all the way to the floor.

now look straight back and youll see a thin wide flap style door with i forget either one or a few turn style clips. turn those and the door will fold down and there will be the filter, pull it out.

new one goes in same way just be careful putting it in because it has to bend and if you just ram it in itll mess it all up. then just repeat steps to return everything to normal and youll be good.

took me 5 minutes in a parking lot at subway during my lunch break
