^^^ Yeah, totally agree. Now if somebody could come up with a way to incorporate LED's inside the bottom edge of the headlamps. If it's possible, perhaps someone could list the necessary parts and write up a "DIY" for the '99>'01 updated projector project.

First bake open the headlights and remove lenses, and then take out the nasty reflectors both the orange and hid reflector. I then take out the square bracket by removing a screw, then i use the dremel to cut the opening a little bigger to fit the projector inside. the same process for the shrouds. I use a blowdryer to heat up the glue and reseal the lenses back together.
