Heres a few updated shots, the ballasts and relay kit along with the rubber buytl tape to seal them up should all be here to button them up. Hoping to wire up next weekend to post pics of them installed.
It ended up being cheaper to purchase a whole kid kit vs the 55w ballasts alone.
so i ordered a 880/3000k kit to do my fogs later on....
Soon, still waiting on the ballasts and relay kit to show up....
they sell the relay kits every where now saw them at oRileys and Advanced

OK, well they are finally in!, forget the relay kit, its built into the projector kit wiring yay!
hooking them up was cake, power, ground, wire taps for the angel eyes,
HOWEVER!!!! this is where it got interesting,
The Black housing ebay headlights SUCK hard!, the quality is good, but the fitment is terrible.
I was only able to mount the lights with the top outer bolt for right now, as the radiator side bolts will not fit.
I literally screwed with the bolts for like hour hours, and its in the alignment of the holes in the headlight out of wack, it does not let the bolt pass thru the hole in the core support. not to mention the fact that there is a 1/4"-1/2" gap between the core support and the headlight mounting tab.
the only way to put bolts on the insides is to put a rubber spacer under the plastic and use a short bolt that does not go all the way down thru the light and into the frame.
Other than a little more tweaking on fitment on the drivers side, (gap on the bottom) I noticed a strip of light condensation about an inch on the bottom of the lenses after they were off for a about a half hour after a 45 mine drive to work on this chilly morning)
(the condensation even is only a small strip really pissed me off even if its only a small strip. the lights are sealed just as good as factory.. and use all factory vents, etc. )
other than some tweaking that needs to be done they are GREAT!,.the first thing i noticed is that i can friggin see!, very very crisp and bright, the high beams are awsome, they put out so much light that the street signs almost blind me, lol.
Im running the small DDM 55watt ballasts, they warm up very fast too. cant beat these ballasts for the price, the fact that DDM is in California instead of china, and the lifetime warranty, they ran my $90 shipped for the 2 ballasts and a set of 3000k 880 bulbs for my fogs.
I will have some pics up this weekend!,
for the price and the ease of install these projectors are a home-run. just dont use the ebay black housing headlights to mount them in..
Sealed up like factory, i think the little bit of condensation was from a chilly morning, and super hot projectors, and then the lights cooling off again quickly after i turned them off.
That sucks about the lamps Mine fit just fine, but as I understand it there's a couple of different manufacturers for them.
The condensation issue is tough. No matter how good a job you think you did re-sealing them, there's often still issues. My passenger side lamp still fogs up a tinge when it dips down to about 45-50°. what did you use to re-seal?
I used rubber butyl sealer, and did a hell of a job sealing them, Perhaps i can pull them again this weekend and put another bead over the outside seam too.
although i think the issue is more because the projectors run pretty hot, very high humidy, a little bit of rain, and temps in the upper 40s low 50s. and then the rapid cooling when i shut them down after i got to work..
the fitment issue really isnt that big a deal, just some tweaking,
the stock headlight mounting setup on these cars sucks to begin with, lol its like pull the bumper cover out of the way, MASH the lights in, make sure the 1 pin is in the hole,and crank the bolts down, while pushing on the light. lol
