    Options eh? I got options...

    1. Depo OEM Replacement (they also have a BHLM version): $150
    2. OEM housing: $600
    3. OEM with BHLM: Price of headlights + An hour's work
    4. LED Bulbs: Price of headlights + $150 for bulbs
    5. DIY Retrofit: Price of headlights + price of retro kit ($200-300 depending on options)
    6. Professional Mini H1 or FX-R Retrofit: Price of headlights + $600-900 (depending on member)
    7. Professional LS460R Retrofit: $2000 (only done by AndrewTRS)

    They are also in order of badassness and price. Oddly enough they go hand in hand. Output goes like this HID retrofit>LED>Halogen. The LEDs do much better in the 2012+ housing. Do us all a favor, and don't put HIDs in your housing without doing a retrofit. It's both illegal and dangerous to other drivers.

    With the DIY retrofit you can make them exactly as badass as you want them, it'll just take some time and effort on your part. With the pros, you can have them done any way you want them and they'll be guaranteed right... for a price.

    Questions?
