Headlights

I wanted to change my headlights to these.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2001-...3A1|240%3A1318

Has anyone done this? Is it easy? Do I need to buy anything else?

Thanks.

Re: Headlights

ebay projectors generally suck when it comes to light output. you'll get more light on the road from the OEM housing and a better bulb. if it's the look you're after, then go for it. pop the bumper cover off, 3 or 4 screws per headlight, aim them and reassemble. probably an hour or 2 project. getting the bumper off is easy. there's a screw in each wheel well, then about 5 plastic clips around the radiator area and 8 or so underneath the car.

Re: Headlights

Well I was going for looks, but I still want quality headlights. Where could I buy some good ones?
