Yea, but they are only halogen, not hid.

not as bad on yours because they're black and hide the shadow created around the outside of the shroud. Also, you dont have the lenses on which I'm sure make a difference when it 'lightens" up the black paint.

I'm partial to LS460's in green tint housings at the moment. Loved the looks of my old Q45's too, would like to see those in black housings with the lens holders painted black. Would really make the face and lenses of the Q45's "pop".

Q45 projectors do look the best. They are also big in the Z and G crowd...

Where's the best place to get q45 projectors?
I see these ebay ones going for under 200 but I don't think those are the real deal.
Also, where's the best place to have them done? Besides diy at home baking method.
