For anyone who wants a retrofit

I would have to start off by saying, smartdude24 is the man!! He worked on my retrofit and did an excellent job. His work is very high quality at a lost cost to the consumer. So if you're interested in a retro, make sure you have him do the work for you if you don't have the time yourself.

Here are pics of the build and final pics on my car. I will have some night pics soon. Enjoy!!

I would, but the inside of the lights are already painted black so you wouldn't notice them too much. I would have if I kept them chrome tho. Thanks again for the comlements!

Joe, thanks for being such a great customer! I am glad you are liking the headlights and they look sick on your black car!

Thanks everyone for your comments! I didn't expect this much interest!

For anyone interested in a set, like Joe said, you have full control over the build and they will be custom to your liking. For the retrofit itself (taking headlights apart, hardware, mounting the projectors and professionally aiming them, paint, tint, custom shrouds, etc.) is all $250. The custom Plug and Play wiring harness that I've made and perfected to work with our cars I only charge $50, most of which is pure parts. So if you provide me with the parts, which will range depending on the market (lol eBay in most cases) the retro and harness is $300. And you can easily get a retro kit on eBay for between $200 and $300. So all said and done, you are looking to spend anywhere from $5-600 on a retro done by me.

Thanks again everyone for your interest and if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to email me at corey.mather@mts.net

Enjoy Joe!

lol no, I think we all know it isn't rocket science. Thank you captain obvious! It is however, many hours of meticulous work and getting the aiming right as well as sealing it back up without having them fog up isn't exactly a cake walk. So until you do a custom set, save comments like that.

Anyways, here are some pics I took before I shipped them out:
