My TL bi-xenon retro *56k :(*. Many of you have asked me if I would do this for either in the thread or by PM. At first I didn't want to have many out there like mine but then I said screw it, everyone deserves good lighting lol. So here I am, offering my service to you. If your interested in me doing the HID retro for you, you will need these items to have this a reality:
1-some DEPO oem replacements
$200 from modern shipped
(can be bought here
http://www.modernperformance.com/dcx/srt4_index.shtml)
2-some HID projectors, ballasts and bulbs preferably bi-xenon (hi/low beam)
Ballasts, covers and bulbs are $370 from hidplanet
(can be bought here
http://www.ebay.com/ or
http://www.hidplanet.com/ for new equipment or
http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/ for used For Sale forums
3.-Prices for labor and including the custom harness would start at $275+shipping and go up from there depending if what kind of shroud would be used and if it would require making a complete enclosure.
Once you obtain all the equipment, you then would need to ship everything to me for the retro. I will do everything from start to finish. I will even use my car as the testing mule for aiming and adjusting. That way everything will fit and be in place like it should be. It will also mean that when it returns back to you, all you would need to do is bolt it in and wire up the harness. Everything will already be aimed exactly how it should be so you won't have to mess with any aiming at all. I will make you a harness that will safegaurd your cars oem wiring so that you won't have any issues down the road with melted wiring or electrical problems. This will be included in the price. I will also offer the choice of a blacked out housing or stock too depending if the projector can still sit inside the stock reflector, alot can't though thus the need for a custom housing.
Projector prices vary. TL's are on the expensive side of the projector price spectrum. They are the best bi-xenons out on the market right now. If not TL's, I would recommend Infiniti FX bi-xenons or the Hella's (New Maxima and E55's).
As far as the equipment such as the ballasts and bulbs, I highly recommend buying brand new equipment. Nothing sucks worse than buying something off the net used only to find out it doesn't work when it arrives at your front door. And with HID being a somewhat expensive luxury, it can be frustrating to get burned like that. So in other words, buy new to save yourself a headache. When using HID projectors, You MUST buy oem equipment because the projectors are made to only work with a P32'd D2S bulb which is ONLY found on oem bulbs. The oem bulbs can ONLY work with oem P32 base ballast. You see how this circle is go around. In other words, you must stick with oem equipment inorder for everything to function and work properly. You can buy everything here

All in all, you will be looking at about a $700+ set-up starting out with EVERYTHING combined.
