custom fitted ones yeah (there are people who will do it for you for a price, look around), but no premade ones

Yea, theres no aftermarket solution. There are companies that will do it, but last time I asked for a simple install I was quoted nearly $1K. Not worth the money IMO.

Ive not seen another CL with projectors yet, but Ive seen a few 2g TLs with retrofits.

retrofits take alot of work, it all depends on what projector you want to go with and to make it work.

I did it, I charged $600 for labor and the parts (projectors, headlights, bezels, hid kit, etc) for the customer were about $400
