other than the 08's the only ones out there would be Anzo's or the ones you find on ebay.

im planning to get the 08's, there are alot of info about projector headlights on this form. for example. people say that the ones on ebay fog up and others have burnt out halos from the Anzo's and its very difficult to replace. your best bet is to get the 08's high quality and nice cut off.

$200 each is the best price I am aware of.

If you buy them straight from your local dealership then you will get royally raped. Sparks is known to have the best prices on factory parts.

Did you follow a DIY on the headlight baking? My first time was pretty scary, but I took the numbers from a post here on SL and I had no problems. I did them for about 15 minutes each at 225.

08 headlights are the best projectors you could buy. Good quality, good cut off, look alot better. The Anzo's look cheap and are cheap. LED's and halo's burn out.

You will need to change out your bulbs from 9006 to H11......with 08 projectors.

I was looking at the 08's as well... do you have to do any modifications to them as far as the projectors, highs or lows? or do they just plug right in?
