Hey Kevin, where can I read about the installation for this...VSC? Do you know if they make a single-xenon kit w/o the angel eye?

I wouldn't touch that kit.

1. The projectors look REALLY cheap, they look about as good as those ebay headlights with projectors built in. I'm sure the output is just as bad.
2. Retrofitting requires aiming your projectors, so even though they don't mention it, I'm pretty sure you're going to have to re-aim your headlights.

Looks like you're essentially retrofitting your headlights with their ghetto projectors. If you're going to put in the effort to take apart your headlights you might as well put up the extra cash too and get some quality parts.
If anything I could see myself using them as projector FOG lights but not in my headlights.

It's like paying for a brand new pre-assembled $700 turbo system or a $50 full exhaust system or a $300 full "carbon fiber" body kit or a -- well you get the picture.

I don't mean to cr@p all over your find or anything (I mean that in the nicest possible way) I'm just looking out for your wallets and trying save you headaches and disappointment.

If it turns out this is a quality product then by all means. I personally wouldn't touch it.

a lot of the matrixowners.com people are going this route because it is easier than doing a real retro. you'll probably have a better output than the stock halogens but no where near the width of a real hid projector.

you don't have to take the headlights apart for this kit, you just remove the plastic headlight holder, and the rubber grommet, apparently this just clips into place, although its still just cheap.
