Stay with me, I tend to write a lot...
I'm working on slowly pulling the front end of my car's look back together. My radiator support still needs to be pulled out slightly to be straight again, therefore no more bungee cords holding the hood down. I will eventually have the hood and bumper replaced, though I do a pretty good job of it being flush with the fenders...
I just recently purchased my black grille pieces from rockauto.com a while back and I love the black better than the original grey color. Next I want to get new headlights, I'm done trying to clear up the lenses. I want the actual black housing headlights, much like the ones listed on Ebay such as "JDM crystal black headlights" and the like. They look exactly like the originals of course, but are obviously black. Does anyone know if these are of good quality? Such as the plastic? I know they don't come with reflective corners (look at links) but I plan to clear the amber plastic and install LED signals which I expect to be bright enough.
My last question: Is there any extra setup necessary for the LEDs? Any of those load resistors or relays and such required or is it straight plug and play?
