90 day warranty. They look great. But they suck. Mine didn't even last a year and the housing split on mine.

Don't think you're going to find anything without paying an arm and a leg for. OEM is the best bet, otherwise you'd have to build/retro fit your own.

I want to put some HID but apparently it's not a good idea to put it on the oem housing

For the Spec-D? You can do that, it'll be way better than putting it in a generic reflector housing since it has a projector BUT.

Quality wise, it sucks. The reason being is the projectors are ment for halogen bulbs and not HID bulbs. The cut off line sucks, there are noticable hot spots (light is more focused on one area, instead of evenly spread out).

I have them myself and am going to put a new projector housing in when I get extra funds (TRS sells a kit but no one has tried it yet).

Also some notable things about Spec-D is the UV clearcoat WILL peel, which the spyder headlights will too as I've heard. Lastly, the boomerangs are more purple/bluish instead of white. I'm also going to try to replace the LEDs in there while I have it apart for the projector.

But all of these things that I'm fixing is what I'm talking about, essentially building your own.
