Help! Retrofit next or Visors?

Kinda a dumb question but I need the help of my fellow Aziner's to help me out. I am itching big time to a retro fit. But at the same time I really wanna do window visors as well. I can't do both right atm. Help a brotha out and vote for what you'd do, or like to see next.

Whats your budget on the retrofit? Visors are much cheaper, like $180. Would you get anything else if you bought visors?

Visors are harder to come by that's for sure.... Retrofit isn't going to be a whole lot more than visors, I need to crunch some numbers but I feel like I'm rushing into a retro when I know from experience I need to take my time. I thought with the projectors I'm buying I could use my phillips D2S but I can't use them so that sets me back the price of the bulbs which isn't a lot and the adapters to make them work with my stock ballasts. I also plan on custom shields and have no idea when they will be available for purchase. I guess I'm torn.... hence the reason for this thread.

Yes sir.... I'm more for oem, but to start as far as color modding that seems to be the best entry level projector out there for now.....

I think I can tackle this one myself but thanks for the offer. I have a quick noob question for you tho. How much does kelvin temp affect cutoff color? Any? I think I am going with 4300k, but I usually stick by 6k. My fogs are six, and so are my factory reflector's (upgraded from 4300)

K temp will not affect your cutoff color from 5k to 8k. I have tried 5k,6k,8k all of them look unnoticeable different. Not sure about 4300. Currently I am using 5k though. I would say you should stick with your fog light k temp being match is better look so 5k or 6k.
After I installed retrofit, I can tell it's 3 times brighter than oem reflector light housing, no worried about your light out put. It's awesome mod after you done you won't want to go back to oem again. Post your result.

Thanks man! I ordered 4300k. Worst case I will buy new bulbs if I am not happy. I'm excited for a new project. I'll post pics when I am all done.

They are a little bit more than buying a used set from eBay. But they are just that... New.
