Ty price is good too, funny how ppl complain about the life of the bulb forgetting that with DRL they are always on .
I have removed my DRL so they should last a yr or more. sent from my S4 on Mars |

Mine never came with DRL so I never went through that
But with my HIDs, they were trouble. I loved them but they were spread all over the place and don't even get my started on the high beams. I felt bad blinding people lol When one finally went out, I had mixed feelings about it I love the back of my car, the front... not so much |

Unless you have the projectors then you would be okay. I dont think its the lens but check this out: when I had mine installed, the metal piece that deflects the light from the bulb: was facing upwards (opening was upward thus pushing light up) instead of down because of the way the slots/ inserts are set up in the headlight. Maybe that's the problem because on my friends car (civic), his was facing down and his HIDs worked perfectly. Strange huh? I think that's the problem

Yes! Now you are talking my language! If you find someone who makes a hood pod let me know! That would be siiiiick or even a light bar going across the front grill that's nice and clean.
