New headlights wont solve those spots. You would have to open the headlight housing and cover the two small holes on the shield.

Check the pictures in the link I posted above, you will see the hole in the projector that causes that spot.

I plan on just installing the Philips kit right into my car, no retrofitting but maybe cleaning the headlights first. Has anyone had experience with www.buyhidkit.com? I have had crappy customer service so far, they also seem kind of shady...
These people are really shady, their product is crap and they keep changing sites and phone numbers. They are now www.xenongarage.com if you don't want a PITA stay away from these guys.

To help some people out - the only difference between my pre-2001 that I could find was this white writing on the top. The 2001 light didn't have it.



You can tell the light output difference (at least color wise) in this picture, driver side is pre-2001 and and passenger side is 2001+



I swapped bulbs because I thought it was weird and still the same color out of each projector. The light brightness difference is VERY visible when going down the road between the two.
