Is it George? If so, his retro is a nice job, however I wouldn't shell out $600 unless you're getting the ballasts and wiring harnesses, which I'd hope were included. But $600 for the WHOLE DEAL assembled is a good deal

That's a good deal, I tried offerin him 6-700 for the thing with ballasts, but he wanted it just for the lights b4, no ballasts. $600 local with ballasts and wiring harnesses is a good deal

The projectors THEMSELVES were a steal, got em for $100 + shipping. The ballasts were $300, the wiring harnesses were $150, the headlights were another $200, the bulbs were $100. Plus all the other goodies I got to put the lights together and reseal them, you do the math

I was told that they are in the yellow spectrum, but they were white. Hearing yellow scared me. That's why I went with the blueish ones. I'll try and post some night pics.
