yeah they're easy to put in. is it a good idea? no unless you do a projector retrofit to focus the light properly.

the projector retrofit is like what all the lexus, mercedes, and bmws have now. they focus the light a LOT better so that you do not be one of those ass holes with glaring headlights that blind other drivers.

You don't need the projectors. I wanted to do this for my truck, but don't have the time or money to do so. There's a few guys that don't have the projectors on here but have HIDs. I personally think the projectors are a bit ricey for my truck. But it's all on the driver's opinion. Like stated above, definitely aim them down slightly so that you don't blind the poor bastard coming your way lol
