I Saw It On Ebay For Sale..
A couple of guys over at ClubTitan.org bought some, I'm waiting for the reviews. I've also posted a couple questions to the seller on ebay. I was think about getting some and putting HID bulbs in them. They use a H1/H1 bulb setup not a 9006/9005 setup.

I'm sure it will fit, but like most after market parts, fitment can never be exact like OEM. I just hope the quality of the plastic is as good as OEM. I've had my previous car for 6 years and have made many upgrades including aftermarket projectors. Throughout the 6 years, I have gone through 4 types of projectors from 4 different manufacturers and they all were made of cheap plastics/parts. I guess you get what you paid for.

They don't have deflectors in the housings. The standard Armada housing has a deflector in the low beam, making an HID conversion doable. Without the deflector, they would be ticket magnets. Just keep it in mind. ;)

I'm not exactly sure, but just by looking at the picture of the new headlamps, the low beams should be going through the projector lenses. If the components of past aftermarket projectors that I have taken apart are consistent with the projectors of today, I don't believe they will need the deflectors infront of the lens. I drew up a picture to reiterate my point. =P

I bought something similar a few years back for a Tahoe. Put it on and took it off the next day. A candle will have more lights than one of those.:D
I agree, even with 55watts, it wasn't bright enough. It's hard to find aftermarket projectors that project the light properly. When I had projectors in my previous car, I was forced to put 100W bulbs just to get a good beam of light. I also had to run the bulbs directly to the battery using the stock headlight harness to control the relays and mount cooling fans into the headlamp housing. I drew a diagram of how I wired up everything.

Check out this thread... Apparently the projector lens has a light cutoff so you don't send a glare into oncoming traffic. Hmmmm... Might have to get them. This guy has the black ones.
