Still workin on the install, bout half way done on both. Next step trying to make it look stock and all that fun. I'll have lots of pics when I'm done. Cost so far, I'm up to let's see about $900 invested as of tomorrow

 

im thinknig of buying a set of retro'd projos from a local here.... he wants $600+my headlights or just $1000 straight up

what do you guys think? i've seen full retros sell for 1000 too.. and since i wont be needin gmy OEM ones, i'd rather take it for the 600

let me know wut u guys think

 

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

 

You can get some good deals off ebay. And if you get screwed...contact ebay and they'll give you 75% of your money back and go after the ass that screwed you. there are tons of people on ebay that aren't assholes. It all about how many sales they have, what their score is and their feedback.. If someone has 100% positive feedback, it's safe to say that you will be satified. shipping is a bitch though

 

yeah it is george, he siad he used to be a member here, met him at UCI. it is $600 including his balasts, harness, and OEM 4300K bulbs. i really like his retro, andh e said it took him 3 days so i hope its good work.

 

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

 

got a pic of my HID's. It was a rainy day...I'll have to try and get better ones but here's my 5000K...not really blue, as you can see.

 

Damn, that shit looks yellow not white, looks good though

 

At night is looks crispy white. And mine are the 5000K Blueish ones....4300 must looks mad yellow. Any Higher K and you lose brightness

 

I'll take some pictures tonight...definately don't look yellow in person

 

No offence, but how can you be at $900 if you have A6 projectors (CHEAP)?? The parts for a really good retrofit should cost around $300-$400, and thats with, say, valeo projectors, hella ballasts and philips or osram bulbs.

 

Take pics at night... from a pretty good distance and at an angle... you'll be able to capture the true color better.

 

4300 is used stock in luxury cars. not yellow at all

 

 

 

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 do have a set or 2 of Lexus Denso Ballasts and Philips D2S bulbs along with them. If Interestred, pm me.

 

Yea, I have just intalled my D2R Denso HIDs, its got glares, but its not bad enough I am blinding incoming traffics. Got the OEM 4300k blubs and they works like a charm. Next, I'd need to black out my housing just to get rid of some glares away. sorry, no pics yet.

 

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.

 

EXACTLY! I love my 4300K

 

I am also looking for some HIDs. Im looking for ones that match the newer TLs.
