Sent them brand new Si lamps, TSX projectors and MDX shrouds. They cutoff modded them to produce a blue/purple color and painted them low gloss black to match the original color of the lamps (i'm not a big fan of the glossy look). I should have them this week, then i'm in florida, when i get back i'll install and get new pics with 4300 xenons.

on to the pics...









Again, a big shout out to Bjorn, he really is a great guy and was very helpful during this process, he gets an big two thumbs up from me!

How much are we talking for this retro? Light look really nice

 

Well, i spent $320 for the headlights (TRE_), 170 for projectors, 90 for the MDX headlights that i took the shrouds out of (sold the MDX projectors for $60) then the cost of labor which you can email CustomLightz for depending on what you want done.

Not a cheap project but well worth it in my opinion, i just can't real with the halogens in reflectors...too 1990.

 

So after the MDX core, we are looking at about 520 plus labor and shipping costs. Thats not bad at all for HID's. I would have to say they are well worth it. And on top of that you still have your original lights in case anything happens. Definitely something for me to think about. Thanks blue for the info. I will have to look into their pricing once the time comes. Maybe drop my income tax check on it

you still need the HID setup ontop of that.

yeah i forgot to include that...

 

haha ah ****. So how much is a HID set up? 500+?

 

around $350'ish... xenondepot.com

 

thats not bad at all. So i would assume its about a little over 1k for a HID retrofit. Definitely not bad considering you get to keep your original headlights and there is no down time. Thanks for the info blue rocket and type x. Appreciate it.

 

Looks great! Cant wait to see them installed on your car

 

hidplanet.com
U can get good deals there too...
Ballast with new bulbs would be about 260

that's where i got my projectors (not that cheap though!), i got the MDX lamps off of ebay (FYI - you can have 2 of the same side MDX lights for the shrouds...do not need a right and left light).

 

Hopefully the other headlight didnt take too long to get there?... sorry about the breakage... seems like no matter how many fragile stickers you put on the box fedex still ***** 'em up.

they look really clean pete

nope -- didn't take long to get them at all, Bjorn got them in just a few days and began working on the retro right away thanks for everything boss!

 

whats the turn around time on something like that?

 

i think it depends on how quick you want it done. I told them it was no rush and they were done within two weeks. If you want it done sooner i think they have a priority option. Hope that helps!

 

i've installed them, they look AMAZING, i have a blue/purple cutoff that just looks rediculously hot and right from CustomLightz they were perfectly aligned! I'm not going to be around tonight... but hopefully tomorrow i can get some installed pics.

Overall my excitement for these on a 1-10 scale is an 11, they light up the road like daylight and look like they should have came that way from the factory!

Two HUGE thumbs up to Bjorn and CustomLightz!

 

I'm curious as to where did you people with the
custom hid headlights put the hid box in your car.
Pictures or telling me where would be great.

 

yeah by far that is proble one of the most bad *** headlights ive ever seen

 

Here are a few pics of the lights on the car... the only time i had to get the pics was at night. I've been so busy lately i havent had time to snap any others... more daylight pics to follow soon!











LOVE THEM!

 

Look amazing!!!

Makes me want to get it done again...

 

what kit did you use as I am gonna be adding HID by april
