real hid lights for 05 headlights
heres what i did. i fabbed in an hid projector from an 07 range rover. and then had to use the bezels from a chrysler crossfire to cover the front of the projector. then painted it all black with the special paint that is specifically used for plastic. it has the high and low beams. it was alot of work. but its well worth it. check my gallery for the pics of the finished product. its the last 2 photos.

Here is a list of all what we have available at the moment. I'll be working to adding more in the near future and checking to see if we can get the Projectors for 05-07:

Looks great. Nice work.
I should probably ask this in a PM, but what hood is that? It gives the whole front end a clean beefy look.

CERVINI CUSTOMS. It's a 3" full fiberglass functional cowl. direct fit. Needed no work. Just primed and painted. Installs with all factory hardware. Looks just as good under the bottom as the top. They are located in New Jersey.

I want to install newer lights in my 03 so I was searching the threads and came upon this one. Is there any recommendations as to where I can get some newer style lights (like 05). I found some on ebay but like a lot of things on their I am concerned about the quality. My 03 lights have a terrible light pattern so that is the reason for the change.
Also I am looking for 08/09 mirrors if anyone can suggest a good place for those.
thanks,

If you like the oem lights, Clay has them at Riffraff. His customer service is top notch, he won't sell you anything you don't need and aside from being a supporter of FTE, he's a good guy. Clay can tell you exactly what you need (I'm a bit fuzzy - it's been awhile since I looked this stuff up and haven't gotten around to doing mine yet... due mostly to the pile of stuff in my signature.)
I believe there is a wiring harness adapter you can get to make them plug in without having to do too much wiring. The biggest part of the job will be trimming the sheet metal behind the lights to fit the newer lights. (The new lights have deeper buckets.) You can change out the whole header panel (the panel the lights mount to), but from what I understand it's not practical unless you are doing a whole front end swap with the newer style grill and bumper as well.

:-) If you're not ready to fabricate custom lights from spare rover parts like RacerX7775, let clay make it easy for you.
