Water in headlights?

**98gpgt98** · 05-10-2009

Hi,

I have noticed that water gets into my headlamp fixtures. I am wondering if there is a fix for this or if I should just get new headlamps? I do want to get a HID kit also so I am thinking my best bet would be new headlamps+hid kit.

Can anyone link me to a good site to buy headlamps and hid kits that will be very easy to install. I can follow instructions but don't want to do drilling and stuff like that I am looking for plug & play. Thanks!

Yep they do leak, all the stock lights leak and then they don't look good and the light output is pretty bad.

It says the bidding ended but just scroll down a bit and you will find them.
You really can't beat that deal as they come with HIDs and if that's what you are wanting then go for it.

Those are what I am looking for. It says "Professional installation is highly recommended." Is there some kind of cutting or drilling that needs to be done or why does it recomend a pro to do it? Hopefully it is just plug and play using same bolts and everything. Has anyone done this mod and can post pics of how it looks on their GP?

I don't know why they say that I think it's just a disclaimer I don't think you will have any problems installing these.
There were fittment issues with the very first ones that were produced.
Those look nicer and built better than mine do.
You should be able to just swap out the old lights for the new. It isn't difficult to do. It looks like the heavy duty wiring harness is included for the HID's and that's a good thing.
There should not be any cutting or drilling involved.

Does it come with instructions on installing? The only thing I would be curious about is where to plug in the new wires and everything otherwise doesn't look hard at all. I am going to get some money together and see what I can do. Thanks for the link and info!

No instructions came with mine, but there are pretty straight forward and if you do have questions or get stuck just post up here and you will have some answers. Don't sweat it it will be easy.

Alright cool thanks for the info! One question though. I have my amp/subs hooked up to my battery and if I hook up these lights am I going to have problems with it draining my battery and if i decide to get HID fogs will that be even worse? I want to upgrade the fogs too not sure if they are worth HID's if i get these headlights or should I just get better bulbs for them?
