they wouldn't fit as they are 9007 bulbs, and you have 9006 low and 9005 hi

i have seen maybe 3 in all projector headlights for the 04+

but i would hate to see what the rice god's come up with for the last gen gp

i say retro like everyone else :wink:

The only projector headlights I have seen were custom made. I dont think they are mass produced, just modified version of the stock headlights.

You pretty much have to have them special made. I've seen some of the "retro fit" ones, n IMO look like garbage ... you'd be paying a pretty penny to have 'em specially made, but it may be worth it .....

I an do them, their 3 pc headlights those are so easy. Been begging my homeboy to do his 06 se gt for a while. Imho i would put some s2000 projectors in those, since they have hi beams (9005). And the labor isnt high on retro unless you get retrosourc.com to do them. I dont charge over $150 to do retros. this is some of my work
Image
Image
Image these are in my gf's gtp now (tsx clear lense) came off my buddiy's white 99 gt, sold them to him after i got my ls 430s. then he got rid of the car, now she has them so the retro is not mine on her car. im gonna redo them in a min

Image these are my ls 430s, but i chopped them up to go in my gtp. bottom reflector was cut making them like an s2000 now. but i have 300zx lenses in thier so i have amazing color flicker(not like gf's tsx'x) but i have way more intensity.

white gt
Image


my unfinished ls430s chopped and screwed lol
Image

gf gtp,looks like a gto now
Image
Image

with them off, homeboy painted the shields white so thats why they look like thier on still
Image

old pics of my old lac
Image
and heres a pic of it with hid fogs(this was over 5 years ago lol)
Image

and the cutoff band (excuse the old cell phone pics

dont know if we can post ebay links on here(so mods feel free to remove if necc)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ACURA-TS ... ccessories

i would get those projectors and vvme.com has d2s ballast for a good price(dont use thier bulbs) get you some d2s bulbs off ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-NEW-PH ... ccessories

so 150+79+labor(130)+vvmeballast they told me 40= 400. and your gonna need an extra set of headlights or drive another car until their done.

The pics you have are the 97-03's. I've read on Clubgp that 04+ cars have less room in the headlight housing, due to the design and how they're mounted. Have you done a set of 04+'s? Got pics if you did?

never did them but the 97 deville should be the same in size. and 97-03 isnt that much bigger just wider. and i forgot you asked about halos ddmtuning.com or oznium.com has angel eyes. or go on here and get the projectors with the angel eyes already on them
