Can you tell me what kind of bulbs are on those CGS headlights?

I'd like to order it as well as a HID kit for the low beam.

The Low beams are H3's and the High beams are H1's.

I ordered mine from ProTuning Lab. Hope it's ok to link to them. I believe they have some similar w/the HID kit for the lows.

The images on ProTuning Lab show the CCFL's as blue. They are not blue, but bright white.

Thanks so much!! I was done in under 2 hours and can't be happier with the look. Light output is a tad better than the factory lights, once I had them aimed properly.
Well, this is still on my list.

It would be good to know if you broke any connectors during the process so I could have those on hand.

Also, did you get the Anzo? If black, I would love to see pics to compare to chrome.

Thanks
If by connectors breaking, you mean those little clips/rivets that hold the top of the grill on, yes, i broke 3 of the 4. The clips that fasten the grill to the headlights, I almost broke, but i ended up taking my time w/those.

I ordered some of the plastic rivets off of eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121210474356

Electrical wise, I just cut the two wires to the parking lights and wired the halos in there.

Also, i ordered chrome, so no black. Hope that helps!

Thanks!

Are you going to put HIDs in at this point? It was always in my plans but I haven't done it yet...
