make your connectors. it's easy and looks stock. you can also check out jimhoyd. he's back in stock apparently but i've compared the two side by side and will stick with mine. if for no other reason than wanting to keep the lights intact for future parting (when i eventually get another car).
got the edm lights from eddy's (cc-b) first gb. great vendor. just be certain to ask whomever you buy from to repackage the lights. they have a tendency to break in the stock boxes. UPS+fragile=guaranteed breakage.

Masimomo found them online but he said he bought the last two. Here's a link to where he found them http://www.parksautoparts.com/info/framesvendor.htm

That would be sweet if you did. You just have to upload one pic at a time with text if you want. Then we can put it in the proper section.
It's nice to share

will do, my lights should be here any day, they just shipped today. I'll start on the harnesss the minute they hit my door step. BTW did you completely disassemble the 9007 bulb or did you just use the wires that originally went to the bulb? I ended up taking it all out and putting a little thicker gauge wire in there and reclamping the metal things back down. I had to drill holes in the harness to fit the larger wires as well. Might have been a little overboard but I figured it will help in the long run. Thanks again for your help Kilyung-James

ADVISORY:
ADVISORY:
ADVISORY: (is this even the correct way of using the word?)
Use care when removing the bulb from the plastic base.
It can blow up (or implode resulting in flying shards of glass).
I squeezed TOO hard at the rectangular pieces of metal that surround the base of the glass bulb as I was trying to rock and pull the bulb out.
It BLEW UP in my hands, sounded like a firework, and sent glass EVERYWHERE! Lucky me, I only got cut in 2 places, my face and my arm. I didn't find the piece of glass on my face until later... the cuts were so clean.
I feel very lucky not to be blind.
My Addition to the process:
1. Cut the 4 filaments, as suggested by everyone else.
2. Don't pull or rock the bulb out yet.
3. Cut the pillars of the metal (in the attached picture, there is a gap <the gap is colored RED> that separates the 2 legs of a single pillar, cut the legs separately) I just used needle nose pliers and twisted back and forth till each side of the gap broke.
4. Now you can throw the glass part away
5. Pull the remaining part of the pillars out
6. Do the rest.
Maybe it was just me being stupid, but I'd rather get made fun of than have owner not be able to drive anymore... cuz they blind.
