ebay my friend. gobs of options out there....including single bulb crystal clear lenses and matching corners.

The ones I assume you 'only' see, have a dinky cheap projector that you wire a new switch to. I dont like those because they look cheap, ricer, and dumb.

The little orange reflectors are just some dot bs! Here are the ones I want for my 98'. What is you alls opinion and will they work. I assume the angel eye halos would get hooked up to the parking lights???

i used to have sweeeeeet ass clear corners, with NO gay little orange disc. then i got hit by a fucktard in a civic and spent a week digging thru ebay trying to find identical corners, but all i could find were ones with the orange reflector :mad:
i bought them from the same company i bought my first set from ( local chinese importers, bunch of riced out civics parked infront of their warehouse lmao)

ive got chrome clears btw

No orange things on these lights, the reflectors are clear or white. like you would find on the front of a bicycle. I'm not sure i like not having high beams.

search ebay best source for clear corners or headlights. You can't use 98 headlights unless you upgrade you have to change your header panel lights corners and grill

hi/lo hid kits are cheap and fail quickly. single beam units have worked on my truck for the past 3 years flawlessly. not bad for a $50 kit.

The only way to do hi/low/ HIDs properly is the dual bulb setup. The cheap ones use a solenoid to move the bulb, and that's what fails. My setup has 4 ballasts and each bulb socket holds two bulbs. I haven't had any issues with mine so far, but the down side is when you switch to high beams, the high beam bulb has to warm up, so its about 2 seconds before you get full light output. The dual kit isn't cheap though, at around $160.

You got the same kit that Tyler/0RangerEdge2 had over at RF? Had like a dual bulb that fit into the housing, 4 ballasts. The bulbs are like right next to eachother and some people(maybe all) had to do a little dremel action since out of the box, the hi/lo is actually left/right? I've heard lots of good things about that kit. The only thing I worry about is ballasts don't like being switch on and switched off...i question the longevity of the ballasts.

I've been thinking about getting that set. Soon as I see Mike(wowmike2001 on RF)'s projo setup, I'll make a decision.

Yeah, that same kit. Been working flawlessly for almost a year now. I didn't do any dremmelling, since yes the bulbs are side by side, but one is slightly higher than the other. Those that dremmelled the housing to put one bulbs on top of the other complained that the low was aimed too low, and the high too high, since they moved the focus point. I left mine alone, and the difference is about right.

man i wish i could do alll this..im just looking to swap out the old ones for newer ones

i was looking for new healights for my truck..aftermarket ones. and i only have 1 bulbe but everywere i look, the head lights that fit the truck have 2 spots for bulbs. can any one explain this? thanks

I been looking for some myself.
From what I've seen/heard. Is that the big one is the high/low and the smaller one is a fog light. I'm sure you can splice the hi/lo wires to where on the small one you can wire the high and on the big one wire the lo.
