I don't like silver cars so I guess the more black you incorporate the more tolerable the car becomes .

The 2-to-1-piece conversion isn't as tough as you guys are making it out to be, but I can understand how it might look that way. I'd be more than happy to talk to you guys about it if you think you might be interested. I also made a DIY when I did my conversion. I have the 1-piece DEPO housings and couldn't be happier with them.

What color temperature did you go with originally, and what have you switched to? I've had 8000k bulbs in mine for 6+ months and haven't had a problem.

That said, I also voted for the clear devil eyes. Never used to like them, but they look pretty cool on that S4 that someone posted.

Ok, so I have the 1pc clear in right now. Do I need to convert back to stock to run 2 pc?

Your one piece halos were designed to fit the same as prefacelift two pieces. The one piece depos are designed to fit the same as facelift one pieces, so you would need a different connector and trim the fender a little, it's not hard and definitely worth getting 1pc over 2. I'm not sure how the devil eyes are. If it says they would fit 96-99 then it should be a direct swap without modification just like your halos.

Quick question bud. What relevence does this provide to me?

Let me just state, I'm not getting sonars again, so dont vote it. I'm not buying your headlights. Are you trying to sell yours to me (or threadjack) by telling me they're ****? I'm so confused by the overall lack of a period in your post I just don't understand your motives.

What's wrong with the factory 99.5 headlights? I would find some of them if I was you.

Pic of mine....

I agree ^. *IF* you can find them, a pair of OEM facelift headlights with the orange reflector cleaned outta the corner lights looks just as good as anything you can buy from the aftermarket. Probably fits better too.
