Get some projector lenses and mount them in your stock housings. That's the whole idea behind retrofit. I'm with you on those projector headlights being sold. I don't like the halos and LEDs. To me that's just overkill with all the little lights....my humble opinion anyways. That's why I'm going with the retrofit. Projector lenses aren't too hard to find. You could always check local junkyards, ebay, or buy them off someone. I'll be using sc300 projectors on mine which i'll be getting from a friend. I remember someone on here posting a link to a site that was all about HIDs and retrofits. They sold complete kits for doing it and had forums....I forgot the name of the page. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

LOLZ i got 50W kits and i actually put my fogs and headlight aimed higher

how cares about incoming traffic.. haha

awesome light beam.. perfect for dark non-lighten road :P

P.S Incoming traffic never flashes me light to say to put my low beams on even with my fogs off haha

but for the truck its normal.. they are higher.. even normal halogen seam like high beam on.. truck stand around 2-3 feet higher than us and the headlight is directly at same height as our faces.... so stop blamming trucks lol
