Yeah, I can all but guarantee you that the projectors in them aren't up to OEM standards which aren't as good as they come either. If you want GOOD headlights, replace the OEM projectors with a higher quality aftermarket unit. There's a difference!

Anyone remember the Grand Prix and SPYDER headlight fiasco back in '06? I'm betting these are coming from the same shitty company SPYDER peddled to us Grand Prix owners then. I'm with everyone, I like the look of the new cars w/stock led's, but not as an after market add on.

I was a bit clear as mud... It's JUST the projector in the housing. NOT the entire assembly. Sorry...

Go to http://www.theretrofitsource.com/com...ofit-kits.html
They have superior products, and the best customer service! You can browse HID kits for the OEM headlights. Our stock projectors were designed for halogen, but you can run HID's in them as long as they are properly aimed. If you wanted to do a retrofit (replacing the projectors in the OEM headlights with ones designed for HID's) they offer kits for that too. If you are stuck on buying Spyder or Spec-D lights - they have a retrofit package to replace the sub-par quality projectors in them!
Email them with any questions you have and they will help you figure out what you need, what will work for you, etc. They won't just try and sell you stuff you don't need. They are really helpful and knowledgeable.
