If you want balls you go with OSS blackouts .... Search the forum for pics. Nothing else on the market can compare

I want an Angel Eye, Fog, and...bulb/low beam or however you call it? upgrade. I'm tired of the halogen look. What options do i have?

I've seen the OSS and I really like them but do they fit my car?

Local guy who installs everything around here said he could get me the HIDs (6000k) for around $400. Installation included. This includes fogs, angel eyes, and headlamps. Does this sound like a reasonable price?

I don't recommend installing HIDs in your existing headlights. You will get a lot of glare given they are reflector based halogen headlights.

If you want to keep the existing headlights, I recommend a hyperwhite replacement like the Xenesis Tru Match Bulbs. These are available for the low beams, high beams and fogs to provide a whiter color.

For the rings, you can do the WeissLicht LED Angel Eyes which are a plug and play LED upgrade for the factory halogen rings that will provide a xenon white output.

That sounds good. Question: what about the p90s you provide? Will those fit my car?

They are also an option if you would rather replace the headlights altogether. You will get a projector housing with preinstalled angel eyes and optional HIDs.

I might just do that. Right now I have the money. On the p90s if I get the optional HIDs will the angel eyes match with the HIDs?
