Default Looking for reputable SOCAL shop to do HID retrofit!?!

Does anyone know of any SOCAL shop that has experience doing HID retrofits? I have an EG with the 1st gen Denji projectors and interested in doing HID's the right way. Any feedback appreciated.

Don't really have the resources to do it myself...I'd rather pay someone who knows how to do it right the first time.

Well usualy a retrofit means you do it yourself and create a custom hid setup for the desired headlights your running. I think you would be better off asking some of the guys on HT that have done it before and give it a go by yourself becasue thats the only way you are going to learn. Plus i know any tunershop charges alot of money for custom work.

the only resource needed for a retrofit, is basically a dremel and time. Other than that its up to your imagination and things you can use to make it look how you want it. You can use a soda can painted, a dog bowl, whatever as long as you think it looks good. I would say time is the biggest resource. Once its done, you will feel good about yourself and the work you accomplished by yourself. Plus you'd save probably 200 dollars
