    There's a lot of different options, go to Andy's auto sport.com and look at the different ones. Then you can check eBay or elsewhere for cheaper ones.

    Aftermarket spyder projector headlights look good but vibrate like crazy but you just add some weatherstripping to the bottom to resolve the issue. This forum has tons of info your looking for already here, hence why I knew about my headlight issue before buying them lol

    I bought these... Had to swap the factory brackets to them. The ones that came with them were very flimsy, cheap feeling. Fitment Is great after swapping them over. Pictures were taken before i adjusted.

    My review of both of the aftermarket headlights i have had...

    Pro's:
    They look great.

    Cons's:
    Light output sucks.
    You can't see ****.
    First set tended to vibrate and bounce.
    Current set- Seal on top is giving out
    They are cheap and the adjustors barely help anything when trying to aim them at the road.
    Oh did i mention you will have a hard time seeing the road?!

    here is just a joke my friends tease me with... "Damn bro... Look how pretty that grass is! We cant see **** on the road but who cares when that grass is looking so pretty"

    Duct tape is a great alternative lol
    I used adhesive spray to ensure it stuck on good.

    I paid $168 for my projector headlights with an HID kit off eBay, but had to search through the million ads for the cheapest listings of headlights with the lowest starting bid.
