teaser of what is to come!

[towsrt4]

got some OZ superleggeras comin but thats not the teaser. I had an hid kit for awhile and i got very sick of getting flashed with high beams so i junked them and started my retro fit. This is my first one and bought all the parts for under 300 dollars. I didn't really care too much how they looked as long as i got the cutoff i was looking for but i think they turned out alright. Here is a pic of one before i sealed it up.



btw, dont mind the hole. You have to drill out the stock reflector. It is now gone

thats a damn good lookin headlight. for a first time too. how long did that take you? did you learn anything to make it easier if you do it again? did it end up the way you wanted? under $300? maybe you can help me do the retro fit. having a local guy that knows this stuff is sweet. let me know whats up, kick you down some cash if we can swing this.

i'd be glad to help you. It didn't take me that long, i did little bit by little each day. I went into it wanting to retain the stock headlight adjustment but i couldn't see it happening so i aimed the projector, marked it exactly, then mounted it.

Here is an OEM kit on ebay for 270 plus shipping. Thats everything you need.

I bought my bosch projectors brand new from HIDplanet.com for 99+ shipping.
I bought an OEM bosch harness, i know i could have made one myself for twice as cheap but i didn't want to deal with that.

I bought these ballasts for 130 shipped. I know they arent' the best but i have an extra ballast laying around incase one goes out which i dont think one will..

and then i got some d2s phillips 4300k bulbs off of hidplanet forums for 40 shipped.


a lot of people make their own shrouds, i was inspiried by hak's oem shroud retro fit though so i went ahead and bought the oem shrouds off of hidplanet again for 110. Those are optional though. Thanks for the comments, maybe if i get good at this i can make some for the NW guys. I think the cheapest retro fit headlights i've seen are like 800 or smoething. I'd do them for liek 500. Id like to start off doin some of my buddies headlights for free so i can get real good at it. My next retro will retain stock alignment.

start making a sign up sheet. at that price you wont have a prob finding customers. if your thinking of selling them i will just wait. "arts and crafts" was never my strong point. looks great though

Looks awesome. Don't recommend selling them to people. PM Haknslash and ask why.

i wouldn't really be selling them to ppl. It would be more of like if say Ashneet hit me up and wanted to retro fit his lights. We could meet up and do it after he bought all the parts and maybe he would throw me some money or something? I had no intention of selling. There is just a demand for retrofits

[jaymzx]

AH gotcha. Local thing, yea. Hell, I may be interested in a set if they look nice

[Malakhai]

those look gorgeous so far. I'm thinking I'll be up for a retrofit day or something similar

[ptperformance]

Those look very good and if you start selling them.... they are for "show" only. We ran into the same issue and just had to say "for show purposes only" or for race purposes only and we get off scott free from the DOT.
