01+ Green Tinted Headlights...

What do you guys think about these DEPO brand
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-02...item23110406b7

It states w/o h.id. type and I'm not sure whether or not to get these since my 98 GS4 factory headlights come with the xenon/h.i.d. feature already. So I'm assuming that I loose that along with auto level I suppose? Would you switch?

Yes you will lose the autolevel and hid feature of your current lights. Which I would not do. Are you after better lenses because yours are faded/scratched?

If u were to buy them I would try to see if you could swap the outer lenses onto your current housings.

Screw it. I guess I'll pay a few hundred more to get these but are they $561 before or after the CL discount?

Just ordered my green tint headlights today from Sewell and with the CL discount I'd say it wasn't as much as I expected but fair. Anyways, can't wait to upgrade from my 98 headlights. Plus I kinda miss having the amber in the turn signals since I cleared mines out, and since my lights were needing a polishing anyways and that these headlights were nearing almost 14yrs old I figuered oh wth. Anyways, check classifieds soon for my factory xenon/h.i.d. headlights w/the amber turn signals cleared out.

Make sure you post pics when you get them, J. I'm planning on doing the same thing you did. I have a 98GS3 w/o HID's and am planning on ordering the green tint HID equipped ones in the near future, so i'd love to see what they look like/output is like when installed.

Agreed, Parker, but my headlights are getting really bad.

I really do need new ones. Already buffed them once, but the condensation is on the inside of the headlights, not all of it is outside.

Take them apart and buff the inside? then reseal them GOOD... Thats what I would do

I don't trust myself doing that. I have a friend that will do it for me, but i'd rather just buy a new set with HID's and that I could possibly retrofit.
