I would make em but I'm branching out of cobalts. I strived for quality and it got me nowhere in this community. I will do cobalts time to time. Just finishing up my last orders. Emperor set is special of all ^_^

Gonna start working with other ppl to do custom work all around. My skills are theirs now.

You need to call them Megan retros lol then people will buy. No really though I got my previous retros on sale for 650 and the quality was superior to 99% of others I have seen even up to this day. But like everything else you have to pay to play. I sold them for 450 which was a steal even used.

Yeah I'm in the same boat, I tell people to buy the best Morimoto stuff then they go out and find a kit for only $100 and think that's just as good.

I'm waiting on the new stuff trs gonna have for sale. Especially the swappable ballast. Also heard rumor new bulbs. Waiting to see. The SS ballasts were garbage. The DSP are nice. My denso ballast took a dump on me. Before I buy another I want to see what they come out with.

My first attempt at retrofit's. FX-R 3.0 2.5" projector, Panamera shrouds, 120/100mm white LED halo's, 3Five ballasts and Osram Xenarc Nightbreaker 4300K bulbs.

One more shroud to mount and then the lenses go back on.

They are so worth it. I just need to finish tweaking how I have them mounted, I've been lazy and got used to the stock lights again

Got my set of mounting hardware for mini h1s today and finally get to install them tonight after I align them. Does anyone know if it's possible to wire a diode from the low beam wire to the high beam wire to activate the solenoid? I didn't order the harness and personally prefer to do my own wiring. If so what size diode would I need?
