What did you do to your GE fit today?
Thinking of doing retrofit this month, my work demands me to travel a lot locally and my stock headlight bulbs are not doing a good job. Don't want to spend a lot and might actually purchase these kids:

Hopefully someone has some feedback on them..

For about the same price you can get DDM projectors-- they're lifetime warranty
They're not as high quality as TRS products but I've been running their D2S version for years and they've been doing awesome. Can't beat the warranty either since I live close to them haha.
DDM H1 Projectors V2
And for $20 more you can get V3 which has a farther light output.

If you already have HIDs, all you would need are the H1 bulbs and the hi/low harness.
There are shops that will retrofit for you but it usually costs a pretty penny haha. I think $500+ depending on what you get done.
If you don't already have HIDs you need H1's-- the projectors you posted as well as mine run H1 bulbs and are sold separately.

Hi Cajlog,
I also have a suggestion if you are interested in retrofit,
there is this HID Kit that already include angel eyes and I think also the bulb made by this person in China using a morimoto internal,
it looks very nice and I think priced at just $350 a pair (include everything needed to install).
It's a retrofit so it should be able to fit our headlight,
plus they also accept CUSTOM engrave so you can ask them to change the labeling on the frame for example to Honda instead of Porsche.
below is the link:

and here are the pictures:
I was thinking of buying the above HID Projector but I really don't feel like opening my headlight cover to retrofit (somehow I hate working with plastic hahaha)
Plus somehow I still prefer the stock headlight look...
so...
I am currently saving money to buy the PIAA or IPF LED headlight bulb instead.
I understand that there are a lot of LED headlight bub kit out there that do not have good cut off and blinding oncoming traffic,
but this LED bulb from PIAA and IPF are engineered by a world class company and people who used it give good review in both light output and safety plus LED consume less than HID, should last longer (in theory) and they turn on instantly especially during high beam flash application,
and non blinding to oncoming traffic because they are design to mimic halogen light pattern and to be used with regular reflector or projector.
Here are the links: (PIAA is on discount now)
PIAA and IPF also sell the LED bulb for our foglight application:
or the Phillips one:

Well I was bored today so I dropped the front end about 3/4" (It was higher than the rear), and stiffened the suspension a few clicks. What a difference! Ride was actually improved (I think this is because front was uneven before, now it is perfect). The front is still maybe a quarter inch higher than the rear, but it looks wayyy better, and if I go any lower it'll rub like crazy with my 205/50R16's. The front does rub on big bumps but other than that it's fine. It's crazy how much of a difference a fraction of an inch can make lol.

Ordered the ones burzpaw recommended, going to love them once they get here.
Damn I didn't even notice those. Wish I had gotten them myself lol. I kinda want a different shroud just because I feel like the mini gatling gun is too generic...
Awesome! Feel free to message me if ever you have any questions about the projectors or even with retrofitting assuming this will be your first retro. Not an expert but I just retrofitted my friends EJ8 with these H1's not too long ago.

and from looking at DIY how to reopen the headlight I hate doing it, I am bad with plastic
I always worried that in like 2 years or so, either the angel eyes went bad so I had to reopen the headlight (and the front bumper too), or leak and I had to reopen the headlight again..., I mean any little imperfection and I had to reopen the headlight again...

Yea I did oven with mine and it got messy because the sealant got a little too soft. When I did the bro's lights I just used a heat gun enough to make the sealant pliable, slowly worked my way around and pulled it clean off
