Mine were $935. Labor you can get from the customlightz.com site. My parts came to a total of $500 for TSX projectors, bulbs, Denso slim ballasts, $60 for wiring harness(HIGHLY reccomend), washer mod $?$, and lower shroud $?$. I provided my own MDX shrouds ebay $39.99.

1200 for everything...
s2000 projectors
s2000 shrouds
d2s HID kit from xenondepot
labour + color mod from customlightz
shipping
new fg2 headlights (most expensive)
can't remember the costs of individual items and they do vary depending on where u get them or from whom ... but the total was about 1200 give or take a few.

If you can live without your headlights for awhile and already have a set of S2000 headlights (which may already come with nice shrouds), you can find VERY inexpensive bulbs/ballasts combos. Then you're only looking at the cost of the labor, depending on what you request.

Yes, i did my retro's on my 99-00 headlights myself. It cost me about $400 for everything and about 6 hours of labor. Looks decent and works very good!

I don't remember the itemized costs either, but they ran around $1,000 for everything. But again, Customlightz provided EVERYTHING. All I did was pull the bumper and install them.

Re: (Striker_1818)
mine I went a different route....modded ebay projectors (they were chrome before with gay *** angel eye ****)
those were like 220, e46 bmw single xenon projectors were 100ish with phillips 4100k bulbs, and bmw e46 ballasts (9006 plug type= plug and play) were about 100.....then some random **** silicone, paint, hardware etc....prob 20ish...so I spent roughly 450 and a good week working on them....... they arnt perfect....
not the best looking retro but it works and I did it myself

Mike - Your ride is too fast. Those G-Forces made it hard to breathe. I made it home that night by 6 am. I had a full day that too; work, school and surgery. Slept like a baby that night.
