If you want something cheap, then go with the hid kit.
If you want a retrofit, and want it professionally done.

I had mine done through them, and they are great people.

$250 plus cost of projectors?!?!?!
Think I'd do it myself

for you if you are trying.
I did my H22 swap in my garage, and it works perfect. Not too difficult when things bolt up. I would never try to do a retrofit, and you wouldn't either if you really knew what is involved.

If you've got time, patience, and an extra set of headlights.... I don't see the problem. Besides, nothing like the pride of doing something yourself.

Yes indeed. But it's nothing like the feeling of a crappy project or realizing that you are incapable of doing something you thought you could manage.
There is soo much that could go wrong in a retro. Cut off mod, wireharness, retrofit...cusotm shrouds...and many other things.
If you just want the projector molded into the headlight...then yes you can do it. But if you want an OEM look and perfectly leveled and sharp cutoff then thats's a different story. Once you have JB welded the projector..it's stuck.
