I have done several sets for non cobalt friends. I would send a pm to smartdude. He probably has more free time than I do to make you a set (I work 86 hours + school a week).

the one dude that does them is named smartdude or something like that.
You could always try it yourself. Its really not all that complicated. I did mine myself, it was my first time doing a retrofit and they turned out pretty nice.
there is a how to on here somewhere

its not really electrical stuff except for the hid's which you would have to do yourself anyways... its pretty easy if you just follow the how to... just takes some time so get another set of lights if its your dd.

true, the electrical parts are pretty basic. And as far as getting new lights, you could always try what i did and just do it overnight. Start as soon in the day as you can, and just work on em through the night. I did mine that way and they turned out just fine.

ahh, well id say smartdude is probly the best guy to talk to if you want to get them done.
he can do almost anything, from regular simple retros, to really complex custom setups.
but you may want to buy an extra set of headlights, just cuz if you are getting them made, the turn around time might be a while
