Four videos, you can probably skim through to get an idea of how it goes. Looks is not the concern, I want accurate stronger lighting than the current stock lights. 1998 Grand Prix.

Do these look like they'll be accurate, or prone to blinding other drivers? Any other opinions on these sorts of things?

IMHO and without watching the video,


Unless you are prepared to spend half to more then what the car is worth(to do it right), its not worth doing.

I've seen some proper retrofits that look as stock as you can get w/o actually buying a stock / OEM HID setup. They've ranged from $1000 to $2000.

Yea every good retrofit kit I've seen for most cars start at 1k and go up. You gatta pay to play.

I paid less than 200 for my projector headlights for my car 😛

But then, it shows too. The cutoff isn't quite as nice nor the beam quite as wide as a proper D1S/D2S projector. Mine are H1 for some reason. But much better than stock halogen for sure, and very little glare (less glare than with the original halogens and reflectors).

$1000? Haven't seen anything that pricey, I must be looking in the wrong places, or nobody makes good stuff for '97-'03 Grand Prix.

Edit: Looks like I can get the parts for this for about $450. :/
