WTT: projector housings for stock housings

this is the second time i have put these up here but i have seen the increase in the amount of peps that want a projector setup

this setup is with H1 projectors not bi's or reg xenon

it is a very nice upgrade from oem stock lighting

i would like to trade these with someone for their stock housing plus some cash

i figure, 60 for the bulbs and projectors alone and then my work i did on them

you will not get another setup like this and you will not get a projector with these trims or shrouds, they are a really nice setup for the money spent, they are nothing like xenon but they are just as good and they shed so much light more than oem

i would like about 120 plus ship but for all you local folk i will do 100 and picked up and plus trade

let me know

that camera was only a 1 megapixel camera

i just now got a new 3.2 megapixel camera

the bulbs are stock oem h1 bulbs

but with some syvania silverstars or something like piaa would make it look 100x better

yo mang, where you at? I am in San Luis Obispo and my car is back home in Tulare.

I've been thinking about putting in some sort HID's but have ZERO dollars to spend at the moment. Maybe in like 10 weeks i can drive up there or something, but not now.
Why exactly are you selling them again? just curious



P.S. $100 is a little high. how much lower are you going to go on em?

well man figure this 60 for the parts for only the projectors

then you have to figure in the materials to do it, dremel bits, paint, metal flashing, quick steel, nuts, bolts, trim rings

the materials alone was 40 easy then waht about my labor???

10 hours a headlight, fine tuning it and making it alight just right with the other

i think 100 is a steal for the amount of work and time i put into these

I'm still down for trade + cash if you want my housings. I think you decided back awhile ago not to though, since i've already blacked and resealed them.

I say do the trade with 97Cl22....the black housings can be removed with paint thinner, or even scratching it with a nail right? cuz I dont think he would sand/primer the housing....

btw....hes doing 120 + headlights....
Then pay like ~$200 for OEM ballasts + phillips bulbs thru Mike (VXCL)

Projector setup easy for $320....I paid $435 for the parts alone...then 30 hours of work for my projo's when i had them....I believe that this is 97Acura3.0CL's loss and your gain.

his setup is unique....made his own trims....the trims i had came with the projectors so they fit perfectly....this setup he's selling is completely custom, unique, ONE OF A KIND!...soon the setup I had will be everywhere since that trim comes with lots of projectors on ebay now...
