Halogen ring headlight

Hi,
I recently found this item on the ebay, and I was wondering if it can be installed on 2009 lancer gts.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/08-09...item1e5713e18c

Since the standard 2009 lancer gts model does not have a headlight projector, I kinda gave up installing HID, and now I am interested in installing this mod. Has anyone tried installing this ring light??? Because I have heard some people saying installing some mods in headlights is kinda treaky and one has to be very careful about doing it.

The funny part that I thought about it was the instruction video of installing this kit, which included the process of putting headlight frames in to an oven for it to be heated.
(check out the video below)

Sorry for posting it here. I couldn't find the 'headlight' section in Lancer (DE,ES,GTS) 2008+ Forums

you should just go to automoglow.com and buy theirs for WAAAAAAY cheaper ($65-$70). and yes, you literally have to put your headlight into an oven. It's easy, just very time consuming.

^ As said above, you can find them cheaper on other sites. Try find yourself a second pair so you have a backup.

i put the automo glow ones in my lancer, i did the oven thing and didnt like that so i went and got a high powered heat gun and heated up a section at a time then pryed it open. this will take some patience and a good rythm.

Cool, its way cheaper~ I think I am gonna buy this after resolving few questions.

Are those products in http://automoglow.com/access2.htm page fitable for 2009 lancer gts? Also, I assume 65$/ pair, not 65$/one side.

I am just kinda curious due to the fact that the site does not provide any additional information other than the name of the kit. Thanks!

Can you tell me where you got a set of HIDs for your GTS ?
I probabily buy one since these halo rings are so much cheaper then I thought.
