Code:
 ...and I am going to get an HID kit as well, another 55...
HID kit for 55$ ?? HA ha do your research man. I paid 200 for my bulbs and ballasts, and they should never be cheaper than that. Don't confuse HID with "Xenon" bulbs.

Here are the housings I got, which have a beautiful beam pattern and now with the HIDs are crazy bright... total cost was 500$ and well worth it.

They are manufactured by DEPO, and DOT approved. H7 bulbs with molded ballast mounting plates. They're very nice....

Not to mention, those arent DOT certified and if the guy in your inpection station is paying attention, you won't pass. No one seems to remember that you are required to have reflectors
reflectors are for gays....j/k [sm=icon_rock.gif]

I have these as well:

I like them fine, but I didn't seal one well enough and it fogged up immediately. I see that you need one piece headlights so I mentioned that only to make a point: add that sealant to any set you buy on eBay.

It may take longer, but if I were you, I would hold out until an OEM set pops up either in the classifieds or in a local junkyard. One set sold on eBay for less than I paid for my Depos not too long ago. You're right, the vvme.com kits are around $55, but shipping is almost as much as that, so whether you buy from their website or from their eBay account, you'll pay around $100.

I purchased lights on ebay before for a Jetta that were blacked out just like those and whenever I washed the car they would fog up.

It sounds like you had too much caffeine today. I wasn't questioning your moral fiber, I didn't know what you were talking about. Your original statement seemed to suggest that projector headlights weren't legal...which they are...you yourself have them, after all and they meet DOT requirements.

So, let me rephrase...Pardon me, could you please clarify what you mean by that?

My car came with projector headlights that have reflectors in them (the orange corners.) Those cheapass ebay ones have no reflectors, so, they are not legal in any state (or Canada for that matter)
