oooooo.. i forgot, your running 1gen pop ups, i tried using one of those plug and play hid kits, which have the modified base, but trust me its so not worth it, first of all the light goes everywhere!!! the right night i had them i got pulled over by a cop because i was blinding everyone.

i have a 1g 3kgt which i replaced the pop ups with the 2nd gen lexan lights, and did the tsx mod on them, it did cost a lot but it was worth every single penny...

cost break down:
lexan lights: 400
paint, and sanding/buffing supplies : 25
tsx projectors: 162
hid kit w/d2s bulbs: 300 from mod exp
welding, bondo, and repainting the hood: 10

the hardest part of all this is getting our hoods to conform to the new headlights, but i think that my car looks much much better, and it no longer has an out dated look.. at the same time i got rid of the 'humps' on both sides of the hood and molded an smoother fiberglass overlay, not as sleek as the stock 2g hoods, but eons better than the 1g.
