I have Anzo with HIDs. Ive had them for a while now with no problems. Got them from stylin trucks.

I think with the 2003-2007 headlights it is really hard to find a good quality headlight.

I thought that one could buy OEM Denali projectors...then add your HID's..??

I bought some AM plastic types...they work ok..but not the best I would think.

Ok let me be more specific, 2003-2007 Chevys have really no good options for a projector. The GMC's do.

I did do some research into a acura tsx retrofit, and it seems it would run ~$400-500

This place has a variety of headlights, I tried these w/ HID's and found them to be a great upgrade over OEM.

Those are for the GMC...will they work on the Chevy as well? Others seem to indicate that the GMC and Chevy are not interchangeable in this regard?

I've been looking at projectors too. Over at hidplanet.com there are a couple of guys doing retrofits on our headlights. the 03-07 are really hard with the shape. The nbs look great with them.

I may jump out and test one of these and report on it. They're about the closest thing I can find to just plug in and go!

I personally have these headlights but in the 02 body style. I can easily say they are the best money i have spent on my truck and are HID capable. Very clean cutoff and the angel eyes are super bright.

FYI turbometal doesn't make those headlights. There are only a couple of manufacturers out there. I know these headlight distributors well. Many sell the same exact headlight under a different brand name. Some sell to each other.

Its hard to tell which is better quality, buy the style you like, they are pretty low cost (generally about $160+ship retail)

The best way to get a good quality projector would be to retro fit them. That would give you the best projector. The ones you find in the after market set aren't the best and more then likely for halogen bulbs. They make a relatively easy retro fit kit that would go where your lowbeams are and would require I believe some minor cutting and such. They are called Morimoto. Or you could talk to Retrosolutions. He's a vedor on here about his retro kits.
