Or are you mistaking "retrofit" to mean "installing these shitty lights on my car"?

From the first post, I gather that he understands the meaning of a retrofit. That being said, it's just a housing. They all fit pretty well. I've never heard of fitment issues, even with cheapo lights. The only problem with those is the output, and that will be corrected with a quality retrofit and some HIDs.

6k isn't really bad as far as brighness goes. It's when you get to 8k and above that it begins to reduce visibility significantly. It may look cool, but for lights that you depend on for safety, not a good thing! The color is in the bulbs, though, and bulbs come cheap-ish anymore... so you can always pick up some bulbs with more color for show! I want to do that myself.
blueplanet, if you had cheap ebay projectors, and you do a retrofit with proper HID projectors, you will notice a considerable difference.
