changing out headlights -which would u do? spec or projector
Here is a pic of my car, so you know im working with



So I want to change the headlights out just so I have something different then most people. I am leaning twards the spec headlights for the blacked out look, but the other choice for me would be the 08 projectors. But then I have to upgrade bulbs, and I might as well add a HID kit while im doing that... problem is, I do not really drive at night, so "upgrading" the lighting isnt why I'd be doing it.
I guess I am kinda leaning more twards the spec lights, what do you guys think?

lightwerkz = nice, but for $875, i would rather get something else for my car
thats the problem with all those retrofit companies, they charge an insane amount... i would pay like a max of $300 for a pair..

retrofits are pricey, and prices are honestly justified
i did it myself and all i basically saved on was labor
spare headlights - 130
oem hid kit/bulbs - 150
tsx projectors - 100
misc. items - 60
just that is 440!, and they include e46 shrouds which run about 100 on a good day
but anyways
if ur going to buy new headlights definitely the 08 projector
but honestly if u wanted the blacked out spec look you should DIY with some high temp paint for less then 20 bucks!
