Projectors are a big negative... just cuz i hate the looks of them. If i were to get a new headlamp assembly i would deff go with the JDM headlamps. And the cost... well for me i was lucky, my friend got into an accident and he salvaged the bulbs/transfomers for me. I paid $150 for everything. It was a steal i know. But they are expensive like $600 for a kit. But if you can find a friend that will sell you his/her HID's thats always a good idea. (BTW HID's are covered by your insurance)
