Never thought of doing retro's but after this thread, I'm thinking of considering. I have a pair of extra lights, whats the typical cost of getting some done?

depends who you go thorough, and the quality you expect. You pay for what you get.

when the circumference of the outer part of the shroud is too big you have to cut out like a U shaped piece in the bottom so it sits flush, doesnt rub and doesnt appear to be cut.

EDIT: WAIT WAIT WAIT. how freekin big are these shrouds!?!?!?!?! my e55's had tons of room, and they are twice the size of Gatlings.
