Xenons

Anyone in Vancouver knows if a body shop would install these for me? Like the actual projector headlamps, not the HID kit.

I have the HID kit, but it just doesn't seem as good...

Do you think something like AK Autoworks will do it for me?

I don't have a jack, and I do know that there is a DIY for the installation, but I don't trust myself, nor do I have the tools...

what do you guys think?

Rlee's DIY is probably the best one.....see if you can borrow a good jack, don't use the stock one, buy some cheap jack stands, and a ratchet set, you can get a cheap one at walmart...its not bad, it will take about 4 hours your first time...it will be twice as easy if you take the wheels off...

or you could pay someone more than the cost of the tools to have it installed....plus jackstands and a decent ratchet set has been a great investment for me thus far..

Yo, I have been doing lots of work lately, (not on the car, just work in general) Anyway, Yea I do have the MTEC kit,but I think it just doesnt look right without the right projector lens (I have the new 07 halogen clear projectors) but not the xenon ones, so I wanna just grab a cheapo projector and add to the mtec kit, or if I can find a bi-xenon with the ballast integrated and everything for cheap, that would be awesome
