I've been doing retrofits for about 3 years or so now. My prices depend on the type of setup you're wanting

Well Iw as gonna get a set of Denjis but everyone says they are harder to do. So I was thinking og doing a Bi=Xenon like a FX35 projector. And maybe just go get a set of non fluted headlights off of Ebay. I have not purchased anything yet and am still open to ideas. I am not trying to do anything toooo crazy. Just want some pimp lighting and a solid cutoff line.

I also want the make sure they are weatherproof, front and rear. Sounds like a retarded thing to say, but you would be surprised at how many setups I have seen that were trash once you look at them from behind.. I like things to look clean... I am kinda a freak like that I guess


Kinda feel me?

I know exactly what you mean. There used to be a guy in my area who did retrofits. His work looked pretty decent from the front, but the backside look like straight ***. He would put a lot of electrical tape and then put silicone on top of that. Here are some pics of how my retrofits usually come out.

I've done other lights, but forgot to take pics. I've done a couple of Accords, newer civics, RSX, Envoy, Chevy 1500, 4Runner, and a couple of others
