I can return them, but I'm willing to sacrifice and see what this guy comes up with. He's thinkin about changing the housing or something to that affect. Ever heard of that being done or has anyone ever seen a coupe w/ projectors?

Dang,
18 point 5 inch rims and tires?
Never heard of that.

Man, you got enough audio amplification goin' on there?

A quick ohms law calculation shows that you would need to plug directly
into the nuclear core of a power plant to fully power all those amps.

I would imagine to properly fit the lights you'd need at least a new front bumper and hood from a sedan. Maybe fenders, though it is possible those could be modified to allow a minor discrepency to pass.
