be prepared to shell out $$$$

 

How much are you looking to spend? Because if you're busy with work and school, I would assume you would need to provide an extra set of headlights, since retrofits dont get done overnight. SO general rundown....

Headlights - $150-200 (if you dont already have an extra set)
Projector - $150-$250 (BMW X5 projector)
Time/Labor - $200 (Dont know anyone who would do it for less)

 

then you also have to add in the cost of ballasts and bulbs, and possibly buying or making a wiring harness.

Oh yeah, of course those components as well. I was mainly listing the rundown for a retrofit of the headlight assembly, assuming he already had an HID setup.

I actually based my retrofit on your set up that you posted up a while ago. on your work! Gotta love that electric tape!

 

how much did custom lights charge you for your hid??

damn man..so how much did you spent on this retrofit??

 

looks nice... I don't really like how the projectors create an "outie" condition, sticking out through the bezels, but it does ensure that none of the light gets blocked on its way out of the housing.

 

so guys..want to help me out??what things do i need to buy??

 

spent

$500 on tsx projectors, ballast, and bulbs
$20 bucks on wire harness parts..(Made one Myself)
$150 bucks on AfterMarket Headlamps (Couldnt use them, it was CRAP)
$150 on used Oem Headlamps

Soo yeh..to much! haha

 

Read up on http://www.hidplanet.com

Lots of info on the forums!

 

im sorry guys if im annoying all of you with my n00b questions..lol.im new to this HID setup.sorry guys.

 

for quick reference just look at the how-to on skafia.com if it's still there.

 

Here's what mine look like w/ Hella Bi-Xenons



The projectors are about the same length but a lil bigger, but you can't really tell unless there were another integra parked next to mine. Light pattern is awesome.

 

anyone selling theirr retrofit hids???

 

the best temp is between 6000k-8000k right??

 

lower

 

hellllll no, do not use anything other than OEM 4100-4300K.

FYI Hella bi-xenon are pretty much at the bottom of the scale of HID projectors, most HID projector put out more light on the ground than the Hellas due to them having a dull metal reflector bowl instead of a mirrored reflector bowl.
