yes do a search on this forum there's plenty of info out there. I think that Depo headlights are as low as you can go in quality, but the lighting pattern on those aren't as good as the factory ones.

Alexbenz: if you have a link to a site where I can get projector headlights in black I would appreciate it. BTW I'm still not sure if there is an angel-eye rim on the projectors lol

ruffrob: I've tried PMing ZAM2000 but no response from him yet. I guess I'll have to be a good samartian and wait :P

thanks for the info maybe its time I asked a friend of mines how he did his setup (he has a Lancer with an evo makeover lol, plus his xenon healights use a Lexus computer and Porsche projectors)

BTW the link you gave me for those lights only fit the facelifted models (00-02) so I guess I'll have to go with this option then

the hairs on my neck are standing up in response to the first projector (angel
eyes). just looking at the pic, the projector seems awfully small. unknown
what bulbs are being used - don't presume H7. the angel eyes dont seem
to be showing up in the larger picture (with housing), only in the isolated
pic so unsure how it all fits in. also, 24 negative feedbacks in past month
for the seller. hmmm
