Honestly, whenever I see the name MNfit pop into a thread of mine ( or any thread for that matter ) I just think, that's the guy with the bad-ass fit.

When compared to the stock GD3 headlamps, the projectors look better to me because they are much cleaner than the stock lamps. The gold reflector and the gray accessory light in the stock housing look tacky when compared to the sleek all-black housing of the projector headlights.

The projectors make it look baller, serve more function, and just why not? If it's a weekend car, rock something different, out of the ordinary, and awesome. I say put on the retrofits, but if you decide otherwise, you still have a bad-ass, good-looking, fit.

No question retrofits and it has nothing to do with looks- I can't stand reflectors projectors are so much better especially with a 4300-6000k xenon

HID is a fail!
IT WILL NOT MAKE YOUR LIGHTS ANY BRIGHTER UNLESS YOU RETRO FIT AND DO IT RIGHT WHICH USUAILY IS A PAIN AND ALSO A LOT OF MONEY!!!

Reaserch it all up! and if you have the time and $ then go for it but don't be another guy out there with his HID's and blinding the crap out of everything in front of them! =)

Retros for sure. Don't get me wrong, I love my oem headlights with my ZXE's but in the future I will be doing my own retrofit on this set.
I just like the distance and cut off the projectors provide. Very clean.

read at least my first sentence. I actually forgot I even made this thread. You guys will probable be disappointed to hear this or maybe you guys don't even care. I probable will not be putting the retro fits back in. My focus is more on cleaning up somethings in the engine bay and getting it running again.

Just for the record when I said OEM headlights, I was not talking about running the stock housing with some PnP HID kit. I meant the strait up OEM lights appose to the retrofit setup I had.
