I traded my stock headlights with a friend of mine for the black housed so I didnt pay anything. You can find them anywhere really. Ebay would be the easiest to find. "black housed headlights!"

For the switchbacks I did use the resistor. they would go hyper flash if I didnt. EASY installation. Highly Recommend them! Just let me know if your having any problem or questions with finding the headlights or blackhoused headlights. I could find some pretty easily

Those switch backs are pretty cool. Are they just a direct plug in? Do you take out the existing blinker and just pop these in? How is the install? Do the resistors come with and where do you put those? Sorry for the noob questions.

No problem, thats what the forum is for!! Yes they are just a direct plug in. The resistor can come as a package it just depends on the package if you want to buy it with them or not. They were very easy to do. Just put one end of wire on the resistor to white and the other to Black. That's what my colors were but on some grand prix;s and such they may be different.

Dont be afraid to ask questions. The forum is made for that exact reason!
