So I won't need like a ballast are anything like that since I have the standard lights? Just simple plug and play?

I read of these issues, for $1,000 I'm willing to have a go at them, for $2,000 no way.

Yeah, it is plug and play pretty much. You only need ballasts if you are installing an HID kit. You will need to buy good quality H1 type bulbs though. I ended up buying a pair of Phillips Crystal Vision ultra bulbs off Amazon ($18 shipped). Let's see how long they last.

Refer to this video it helped me a lot: http://youtu.be/Yn-AxMOyyHc
I know it's long but it will give you a good idea of what you are looking at.

It definitely is not the same high quality as Fred's projectors installed by particlewave as mentioned above and don't expect too much support from the seller. But if you can accept that, only then purchase them. Definitely a cheap way to make your car look ten years younger and if they work well then they are not that bad looking(in my opinion at least).

Good luck!
