I am not sure if you are talking about the flush depo units like RIPPENIT, but I got the stock black projector and corners, a package on ebay from a great vendor. I couldn't be happier. I had the professionally installed but was able to watch him and installation was a snap, perfect fit on both, looks like the car should have come from the factory like this. It is a light cannon with the super bright white DRL's, 6000K fogs, and 6000k HID's projectors on. And the light is DOT and perfect light pattern as it should be. I know you can spend more and all the other HID kits are great from other vendors on here, but for me, it was must mod for the car for only $300. Here are some pics...

Do yourself a favor and see them IN PERSON before you buy. Like or dislike, you will find they look considerably differnet in person.

I have the Depo projector headlamps in black casing, and as much as it was a PITA for me to install, I think they look much better than stock. Besides, they are twice as bright. There is a photo of my car on here somewhere to see how they look.
