You don't have to like what he did, but I would hope that you can appreciate the time, money and love that went in to the build. If you can't, you're not really an enthusiast, just another dumb kid with a car.

yes, i do see that. But are you aware of the cost for everything needed for a retro kit?.. it's not very far off from the price of those headlight that i wouldnt need to do any work to.You don't have to like what he did, but I would hope that you can appreciate the time, money and love that went in to the build.

DO NOT BUY THESE.
They are not genuine projectors...i had these and bought them for like $30 on ebay.
They look like projectors but theyre not actual projectors.
This is a ginourmous rip off.
Do yourself a favor and peice together a real retrofit.
Buy these for cheap on ebay, reseal them and then do the retrofit.
The most expensive part is the projectors.

but the difference between those headlights and a real retro, its worth spending $400 on a real retro...those cheap projectors are shit, output is shit, and IMO they look like shit...
Personally I dont think those headlights are worth that much, maybe worth $50
I would rather spend that money collecting parts for a retro and doing it myself

They're for halogen bulbs, and if they're anything like every other halogen projector on the market for our cars, the output will suck. Dangerously so. I was given a set of halogen projector lights for free, and I gave them away for free.
If you put HIDs in them, the beam will suck. You need proper HID projectors.
Honestly, a proper retrofit can be done easily enough with a set of $100 TSX projectors, some epoxy, and a little time and patience. icedplaya123 did his while sitting at work, while IMing me. His are quite possibly the best I have ever seen.

^^^ exactly.
Just try to find tsx projectors either in a jy or online and then custom fit them into the oem housing or into projector style headlights.Comment

here is a way to do a real retro for half of what those will cost, do it right man; and actually be able to see the road. Retro done right
I got these too, and next weekend should be in.Comment

they make COMPLETE retrofit kits w/ Bixenon projectors for 275. This won't involve cutting your headlight either. Comes w/ projectors, bulbs, ballasts, and shrouds for projectors. Thats everything you'd need and you'll also have a HID highbeam as well. Look up www.theretrofitsource.com for the Morimoto MINI bixenon projectors, they're as good as my TSX's in light output and have a nice crisp cutoff line.

The bi-xenon takes extra wiring doesn't it? I heard bi-xenon aftermarket kits are known for failing, true? Tsx with a lense change would be just as good no?

Yeah, that is a lot. I have a 92 EX coup, and I am about to purchase a Minimoto projector retrofit kit, they are bixenon but I'm not bothering with the high beam wiring since I already have high beams, this will make installation a lot easier . Minimoto's are true projector headlights, most after market ones are not and you actually get less light out of them. I am getting the Minimoto lens, mini gatling shroud, a 50 watt (not your normal 35 watt) HID kit (8000K), with ballasts bulbs and harness for $200, shipped. I am paying an extra $37 for angel eyes. You take out your stock headlights, put them in the oven for 20 min, at 200 degrees to melt the seal, then pry them apart. You then remove the reflector that sits in front of your stock bulbs, and the back of the lens slides right through the stock opening for your headlight bulbs. You can then aim and tighten down the lens. If your interested in taking on a fairly simple project, you get true projectors with HID lighting, and then your legal to have HID headlights.
