You might try looking at nloc.net if you want to find someone selling just their insert.

you do realize you will have to cut your header panel to get those to fit. not to mention the projectors use the tiny 55W H3 halogen bulb- the same one thats in my fog lights. I dont think it is going to do you much justice for night lighting...

and if ur talking about the lights i think you are, you have to run/make a new harness for the hi beams, because it branches off as a 2nd bulb..

i put my daughter in her car seat everyday. but she's almost 3 i put her up there and tell her to get in then i buckle her up.

if your going to get the DEPO brand, the lighting alone is improved even with the halogen bulbs. but i definitely noticed better light output even over the stock lightning lights i had in. maybe it was just because the lightning lights were old & these were brand new. and it is nice how they came with the harness now. but when you get them, send me a PM or email, if it gives you problems. the harness that came with it isnt like the one i had made. so i basically hacked it up to be the same as my original one.

the only thing that does suck is that you have to cut the header panel. but its definitely not hard. if it were that much of a pain, i wouldnt have bought them for my lightning. easy install. post some pics up after you have them installed. i havent seen the ones in chrome.

Then half of America not driving A BMW, Mercedes, or any other car with projectors are illegal right now.

I don't think you will get stopped unless you have them aimed like crap and blinding people. Just dont be stupid with them.
