    I have exactly $34.01 left on my tax return credit card, and was looking to spend it on this head light upgrade kit. Was curious if it would be a direct plug in play type of deal, or if I would have to do/buy more stuff to get it to work correctly...


    Aside from that, just picked up.....

    Polygraphite® Kit Contains:
    * 2 upper ball joints
    * 2 lower ball joints
    * 2 outer tie rod ends
    * Control Arm bumpers (for most models)
    * 4 Polygraphite® or steel upper inner control arm bushings
    * 2 Polygraphite® lower control arm bushings
    * 2 Polygraphite® strut rod bushings
    * 2 Polygraphite® stabilizer links
    * 2 Polygraphite® sway bar bushings with brackets (for most models)


    $259.00 shipped

    annndddd....

    With 52 negative feedbacks and 88 Neutrals in the last 12 months I would highly reccommend staying away from this seller.

    If it plugged right in why would they say professional installation reccommended???

    They look similar in size to the tri-bar halogen headlights I have on mine. I had to enlarge the hole in the rear of the headlight bucket to install them, no big deal.

    I tried some similar and couldn't see a damn thing, I ended up with extravision sylvania's. they work great and are about $15 each at autozone. plus the plastic starts showing signs of surface micro-cracking after only 6 months here in GA during the summer. I took them off after that. If you want really good ones, Hella makes glass replacements that use an HB2 bulb(I think). but they're pricey

    Well, I bought them... I will try them and hope it fits worse case I will send back to seller and request money back.

    Hope it works for you. I've though about modern headlights for my Mav but have stayed with the incandescent in all the interior and "regular" sealed beam headlights for the front of the car. It just seems like these older cars look more "right" going down the street and not looking like something from TRON.

    Acknowledge, I will provide before and after pictures as well as instructions and "how to" on how to install. -- That is, if everything goes correctly :p
