Im no lighting expert but im pretty sure you cant use normal bulbs in real projectors (not POS HID kits)

About molding the kit. It looks nice but what if you damage your car, or if you decide you want something different. What are you gonna do then? If it was a lip kit, you could mold it to the bumper. Now your lip kit is a body kit. It has a nice molded look but you can still take the bumper and side skirts off. If you mold a full kit to the car, well then its not so easy.

I've seen molded lip kits and is hella nice!

molded body kits are even better!

but what happens if you crash again? (not to jinx you) it will be a pain to repair and cost way more..... since your kit are molded to the body, that will take alotta work....
