If anyone wants this done, provide me the parts and I'll do it for less than half that price. I'm almost done a pretty complicated set, so I'll let my work speak for myself if you don't want to risk a 'n00b' doing your lights. If anyone is serious about getting this done, let me know and we can work something out.
If not providing any parts... I'd have to ask at least what he is asking, however I believe he is asking that price plus you have to provide the parts.

@ elecblue06 - during school year for me yes, and also the ones I am doing are much more complicated that what most people would want. After doing them... if someone just wanted a set of bi-xenons, painted bezels with shrouds and a plug and play wiring harness, I could probably get that done and out the door in 5 days max... that is of course if I had all parts on day 1.
After school is out in 2 weeks and I get back from vacation 1 week after that I will throw together a pricing chart as well as time frame on several different models if anyone is interested, and like I said... I wouldn't be charging an arm and a leg as I find this fun and would just be a side job during summer break.

You guys are on crack if u think thats too much . Its totally understandable if its more than you would personally justify , but its actually a GREAT price for a turn key package .
Stock Cobalt lights ...average 100 bux
Bi-xenon package( projector, ballasts, bulbs , ignitors ) ...unless u find a steal of deal or use a unpopular brand $300-$450
Now were up to $400-$450 , havent got to the cost of a wiring harness and the guy thats makes them has to make some kinda money ...or why even do it .
You guys would puke up a lung if I said what I would build another set of Astra lights for

smartdude ...your lights are coming along nicely man

Yes, silverss/sc is exactly right on that one. I just think that it's pricey if you have to provide the parts on top of that price. The wiring harness is around $50 which kind of surprised me and took like an hour of work.
But start to finish you are looking at $500 min. plus the cost to pay someone, like I said my fee would be around $300 for a simple bi-xenon and paint and harness.
Thanks dude, I appreciate it. The photoshop kinda looks like crap cause I just used the burn tool to 'paint them black', but I can picture it in my head and am thinking it should turn out nice.

Thank you sir 
Yeah, I have a build thread going but have plans to post a comprehensive how to for anyone who wants to try the quad projector retrofit. Probably something I will do once school is over and I get settled into my summer job.

izntrbl's got good work but it takes forever to get ur stuff back... go to jbody.org and look at the last thread they had on it.. some people waited about a yr... thats a loooong time..
Wow, that's nuts!! I know he has a lot of projects and is highly diversified (in what he makes and sells) but that is crazy long. I'm not knocking the guy and I know his work is top notch... but if someone were to contract me to do a set for just a Cobalt... looking back at it I could guarantee like a week tops turn around. (obviously not including shipping time).
I already have 2 people mildly interested in me building a set for them, so if you want a set, just know I'll be fast, fair in pricing and imo **** enough to do good quality work.
