Default Need help on headlights... Projector/HIDs

Ok, so here's to ex girlfriends - B8tch blow torched my headlights.

So 2004- touring, headlights are trash now. I can't afford to pay grand to get stock hids, so I bought the ones off ebay that are projectors which don't look that bad, at least for a month or 2 of driving should be fine. Either I was too pissed to overlook or what, but they're projector and won't fit the cables... is there any way around that?lol...

anyone knows or got suggestions plz let me know,.

All those who are here just to flame, suck it. Either offer helpful suggestion or f off, this **** costed me 4 grand already, so dont give me the "u bought headlights off ebay???!!!"

The grammatical errors are bountiful in the above posts.... However, I'll spare you my e-thuggery until pictures of ex are posted up. You have 48 hours to provide needed pics. If within 48 hours there are no pictures of ex, my grammatical hammer shall come down with the assistance of M C Hammer doing the hammer dance.

We need pics of your ex cause most of us aren't capable of retrieving women on our own, thus we live vicariously through those that can get women.

My friends car has the ebay headlights on it, they look nice, all you have to do for HID is get the H7 Hid bulb and use your OEM balast.

OK if i JUST use the lights from ebay, what other parts do I need to make it work? any suggestions?

yeah have :/. where I am- there's no shops that got used 350z parts, (spokane, WA). its like some ******** lol. I found a few buddies who sold me other parts from OR and stuff. I think I might end up rewiring them.... cuz none of my oem parts can be used. I'll post pictures of how I end up fixing it.

That sucks bro. I can't stand wiring electrical items.

I do prefer sodering rather then using electrical tape. If you have the time here's a DIY on sodering that I've used in the past. http://www.doityourself.com/stry/h2weld

Your answer to asking what parts you need to have work is right there in the post above. I can't believe I didn't think of that myself, makes perfect sense I'll wait till mine starts to fade more and pick up a set of these cheapo Ebay lights and H7 HID bulbs
