I wasn't happy with old hid that were skattering light everywhere. I purchased these of TheRetroFitSource.com and was an easy instal besides getting the lens's off the light off. It required a bit of guess n check with the oven but after man handling the lights the ens slowly popped off. A Few more tweaks to it and it will be perfect but its definitely getting there. I was tired of seeing all the KKs with the normal lights...anyways here are some pics from yesterday

Thats pretty crazy. The black grille sets it off kinda cool if you do some more black stuff. Which kit you get and how much?

Nice work. I like the idea of projectors but this just looks a little off for my taste.

not to speak for liberty rs, but i thought he meant he was going to keep the bezel white but he painted the reflector black. the image you posted has a black bezel and a stock silver reflector.

Hey man, that's looks :shock: AMAZING.
Which kit did you buy, I was looking a couple months ago to purchase one. I wasn't sure which size would be best. Also which lens did you get? How is the cutoff?
I'm totally jealous if you couldn't tell, lol.
Anyway man, if you have any other pictures of the headlights assembly from the back or before it was closed up, that would be fantastic!

ya, the back is what i am really interested in. i was always sorta unsure about getting a kit, b/c i thought there might not be enough room in or behind the headlight housing. theres not all that much space behind the housing

Ohhhh, this is something I've wanted to do for a while, but I can't bring myself to actually fork over the cash.

Are the head lights and housings from 2008 to 2012 all the same? Meaning can I take a headlight bezel from a 2008 and mount it in a 2012 with no modifications.

He's since had another that turned out /amazing/ but they cost a pretty penny. I was quoted like $1600 for the lights and thats close to what he paid for it.

Wow the retrofit kit only costs 315. Projects bulbs ballast shrouds. To my understanding everything needed to do a full DIY!
