outlaws cost about $1200 for several reasons
$500 for new headlamps
$300 for d2s system
$75 for wiring harness
$50 for painted housings
$300 for my labor
$100 in shipping

$400 for lamps with projectors and no electronics??? i'm sorry but that is not a good deal at all. good luck with that. I had my whole setup for sale for $450 + oem lamp trade.

okay, so youre charging $300 for labor? so why the hell doesnt this guy deserve any pay for his labor? its not like he didnt spend time on his retrofit. IMO its a decent deal and if i had a CL, I'd get on them.

#1 he did not do the retro
#2 if u think its a good deal then buy it
#3 I know what its worth. i started the whole retro thing almost 6 years ago and have been selling parts since. you cannot charge orginal price and call that a good deal.

i would have kept doing cl retros if demand was really like that.
a good deal sells the first day.

my point was not it insult the seller, not implying he's trying to rip people off, but the price is steep if he really wants to sell them

peace

Those projectors can be bought for $150. Used CL headlights about $200, and trim pieces $22 as stated in an earlier post. The value of these headlights is $372 without labor. I think you should try to sell them for $400 without trading headlights, and $200 if you want the oem headlights.
Heres an idea if someone wants to trade lights but neither of you could be without headlights, switch one at a time. shipping will cost more though but it works
