Yeah except if you're going to retrofit it right it'll cost you way more than $200 and if you just paint them black its going to have bad output and you'll need hids to see stuff but without projectors you're going to blind everyone and shoot light everywhere lol

Nice choice on the morimotos That's the same projectors I used. They are great! Good luck on the set up. The wiring will be the hardest part. I did a quad high beam set up on mine, but disabled the DRL function because it was getting in the way and making things more complicated.

I'll be following
