I've seen these in person and they do look great. But I understand they are made for to replace halogen headlights, and to be used with HID kits. But if my car already has OEM HID setup, will this work?

Also, Im wondering, do they last? The leds, the CCFLs and how good is the lens itself, does it yellow easily?

you can get them to "work", you just need to do some major wiring and make new harnesses.

You'd also lose your auto-leveling function and have to remove the indicator from your gauge cluster. I would never go from stock HID to such an after-market item.

If anything, do a complete retrofit using oem projectors like TL, S2k or LS430. Better yet, LS460 like i did. go to hidplanet.com and see some of the millions of retro's that have been done. Infiniti Q45's look pretty nice on the GS as well...
