Here are some shots of the finished set I did for my first customer.

I now have the parts for my second customer, so he has priority before I can get back to work on mine... I promise I'll have them done this year!

Enjoy the pics and let me know what you think

Thanks everyone!

@ls1fbody - every set will differ depending on cost of materials. This particular set cost $650 with parts and labour. $250 for labour, $50 for wiring harness and the rest was parts (headlights, projectors, ballasts, clear lenses). Let me know if I can interest you in a set and we can talk business. Thanks again everyone

I live in the same city as him and I'm not even sure
Last I saw he was working on some retrofits for other people.

Yeah, I just finished a set for a customer and am about 40% done another set which I hope to get done this week and then this weekend I can get back to work on my dual retro. I've had time to think of some cool ideas to finish them off... so I guess that's a plus

and MaJ, you will be one of the first to see them once they are done

Here is some progress of my next retrofit. I hope to have it done and shipped by the end of the week and then get back to my own retro! But if not, no big deal... I am not going to rush these and have them end up looking like crap

what would look good is a dual projector one but that has two for headlights and normal bulbs for flashers

not sure if there's enough space for that, I guess so since the ebay ones are that way...

Corey, they look great as always!! I'm really not sure what I want to do, if I want to get the CCFL, or just have you fab me up a retrofit! Still can't decide.

That's exactly what smartdude is doing. He's made a dual projector set (high/low) and fab'd his own turn signal into them.

Thanks Ryan! Yeah, that would be awesome if you wanted a retro... I'd totally do something cool for you. Keep an eye out for kits on eBay (projector, shroud, bulbs, ballasts) I've seen them for like $250 and then you just need the headlights, which should be fairly easy to get from a certain buddy of ours ...just something to think about... but take your time. I might even consider selling my dual retro after I am finished... that's a big maybe though.

Anyways thanks for the kind words Ryan, and everyone. More updates with pics tomorrow, imageshack is being a bitch and I'm tired.
