MTECs won't melt your wiring. They are 55/60 watt bulbs just like stock.

Well first you ogtta get the parts. Then take your TYCs apart. Remove the old projectors & replace with new ones (valeos or D2S). Wiring etc..

I have this pic. But they're whiter than what is shown. The white balance was a little off on the camera. I'll try to get a better one tonight.
