    I am looking to do a blacked out retro fit with projector headlights.
    Ive been thinking about for a while now but im too nervous to do it myself.
    Let me know!

    It's really not that hard, take your time and do it right. Took me 2 days mainly because I wanted to paint the bowl.

    You could also buy some cheap headlights and do it to them if you are that worried

    Which projectors are you going with?

    I have new aftermarket housings. I'll retrofit these and trade them with your OEM housings--the difference in value paying for the install. You just buy parts. Thoughts?

    They're very good quality, but the backup set of reflector bowls / bezels I have being built will only work with OEM housings, which I sold mine pre-retrofitted already.

    Hijacking the thread a bit here, but what would be a rough estimate, if possible Andrew, on a set of headlights like what PCbuilder has on his?
