The retrofit source supplies blackflame customs who are in my state (NY), at least in a majority fashion. From speaking to Matt at TRS today, and also reading on the two sites.
I don't prefer the black look
I don't need any housings
I would have to send blackflame my stock lights and have them do it (since I can't myself, probably) when I have somebody I know who can do it all for me. I just have to buy the material and pay him some labor.
Plus there you have less options to construct your headlights, and it's gonna be over a grand
I'll look into that, but I was told different by Matt at TRS (maybe on purpose, maybe not)...

Retrofits... so can somebody give me a break-down on the process for them? Do you take projectors and anything else, from outside sources and put them into the stock housings? Is that how theyre made, sold? Could you do it with Gen 3 housings/headlight kits? Or do you get the retrofits in their own housings (stock housings?) all set-up and sent to you? What's the cheapest way to go retrofit?
Is buyhids.com the best place for them?

Clarification on these options, from what I read and what I'm interested in...
Option 1: You get the housings with everything - stock housings, right?
Option 3: You mail your stock headlights and they retrofit it for you, then just have to hook them up back in, plug n' play...
Option 5: You get all the material sent to you, so you can do it yourself, or have it done professionally - again, into your stock housings
Is that correct?

I've heard a lot of these HID conversion upgrade kits, and when I go to purchase the LEDs I want online, it asks me if I would like to add it to my order?
So if I were to buy the angel eye black housing headlights, would it just use my stock bulb?
I want the upgrade obviously but its expensive I've always thought it was included!
Anyone have HIDs? Is it worth the upgrade?
Thanks a lot

But that's all I'll need right? The kit comes with the ballasts and the HID bulbs, anything else I should know? I think I wanna go with the 55W as opposed to the 35W, but whats with the bulb type and color? I want a very bright white almost blue color. Thanks again

Streaking on headlights
I installed the 3rd gen halos a while back. Streaks and other debris are appearing seemingly on the inside when the lights are on.
They've been on the car for 6 or so months. Is this common for these headlights and time to by a different generation? I appreciate the help.

and they could even only cost 230 if you send your head lights. which you should do now since you still have projectors.

Just clarifying before I make a decision I might regret. How long does it take and have you done it. Also, would it look pretty gay if I didn't have them painted and just added the lights? Thanks a ton for the help.

you take that wiring off the stock headlights and use them on the new ones.
