there are a bunch of other threads out there in regards to lighting. i only say this b/c i had to look through them before coming to my own conclusion that getting HID retrofits would be the best for what i wanted, which was light output (cant beat HIDs), uniqueness, and style, hence the retrofit. but uh...it cost me a lot more than most people are willing to spend. i estimate i spent about $1k total on parts and labor. of course, if i did it all over again i could probably get things for much cheaper, but id still be in the $800 ballpark.

but im guessing youre not willing to spend that much on your own lights. if light output is NOT your main concern, then yes, those lights you see on Ebay would be fine. i do admit, a lot of them look pretty sweet.

if i were you though...honestly, id just blackhouse the lights myself w/ some quality spray paint (give it more than one coat, plz... -___- )and get a set of PIAA bulbs (or silverstar if youre willing to take the risk. search other forums on that topic). blackhoused 7th gen coupe lights look pretty hot IMO, especially on cars like yours and mine (mines silver). youd have above avg light output, too.

lighting is expensive, at least if youre going for the best. but, thats the case for anything else. :P good luck dood.
