HID conversion or retrofit? I have a 8000k kit, and it was a 30 minute install. VXCL does the projectors.

if you do a custom install it will be about around 350 for the HID parts. then u will spend at least a next 50 if you dont have a dremel. then you will need about 2 tubes of quick steel. ( its about 5 buck each here). and time to it.

I need to get me some H1 hids for my projos. That would really complete the headlight conversion. I'm thinking 7-8000k. HIDs are easy to do, projos are the tough ones.

you cant get one off a junked car...usually they take them out...also that the OEM ones are d2s or d2r....and our socket is a 9006

if you dont want a lot of labor, get a 9006 kit (McCullough or something)

if you want to be proud of what u did, get a d2s bi-xenon or a H7/valeo setup...a little harder to install and a little more expensive, but a hell of a lot better!

I've tried projo's, halogens, and HID's....projo's are WORTH it
