Default I want to install angel head lights

I want to buy these head lights:

Enlarge the image to see closer. Anyways, I was wondering; if I purchased that, and took it to PepBoys and asked them to install it for me, would they do it? I don't mind paying for it.

IMO, those look cheap, either get those same ones in black or get Apexcones w/ angel eyes from understeer.com, they cost about the same IIRC

They may be your style but they definately don't look that great. You are pretty new to the forums so you may not have done to much research on other types of headlights. I just installed some Depo headlights in my car (with projectors, HID, and angel eyes) and they look amazing IMO. The website that is selling them is DDMTuning.com and they have some rediculously good packages. I think one of them has some Apexcone headlights (practically identical to the Depo's) for like 135$ which includes halos and HID's. If your heart isn't set on buying the ones from your link, I suggest you check DDMTuning out!

PS: I don't actually work for DDM, haha, I just love my headlights!

K, I pretty much added everything to my headlight package. I got the Depo headlights, Predator Chromium angel eyes, 5000K HID, 55w Ballasts, HID warranty, Lamin-X protective coating. All that came out to 235$.

The shipping was 90$ plus a 25$ brokerage fee. All-in-all They are well worth the extra shipping charges.

I'm actually not sure if they have as many good deals as they did a month back. Check the site out and hopefully you can get them close to what I paid.

Good luck

PS: Today or tomorrow I will try and put some pictures of the headlights in my album...check em out when they are up!!
