I always keep the OEM parts off of my vehicles.

As far as your HIDs go, I would re-think them unless you are going to retrofit a projector into the housing.

he is talking about putting a projector out of a bmw, rover, acura or other luxury car into your stock housing. it looks awesome and is the only legit way to go hid. when you put hid bulbs into a stock reflective housing it throws light all over the place and puts glare into uncoming traffics eyes. projectors control this and produce a nice even pattern. do a search on here. myself and two others have done the retro. hidplanet.com is a great resource.

good luck
