AIB is right, you have halogen headlamps. You need to just buy Knight's head lights and then you will have everything you want, white xenon HID's and angel eyes!!

The only way you are going to be completely happy is to do things the right way, meaning replace your headlights with Knight's and just get it over with. In the long run the extra money you spend to do this will be well worth it in terms of quality and looks. You will love the it. And on the plus side, we won't have to read any more of your posts about yellow headlights!! hahaha
Seriously though...don't go cheap, you'll just end up hating it and spending more money to get the OEM xenon headlamps in the end.

i just found some on ebay with all the components, but almost a $1000, i just can't do it!!


How come i did a search and nothing came up for Angel Eyes not working on an 04 with my same set up, i can't be the only one!! I think there must be some other way than changing the entire set up to Xenon...all i want is those AIB's

They are, but not directly. You will need to do some very minor wiring changes. Look at past questions on this, you will find a way to do it.

It's really easy to mod them so they will work. All you need to do is [EDITED - CONTENT REMOVE BY ADMINISTRATOR]

Hope that helps.
