    A few people do them but I think they run about $800-1k. They're not hard to do.

    I went with the fx-r with the MC-R shrou , BHLM and red demon eye. My lights are on the website. He gurantees his work for 3 years. He usually has specials during the years. I caught him during a 4th of july special. He charged about $600. Send him a text or email.

    I'm working on the means to do them for faaaaar less than others on my personal time. Right now I charge $400, but working to drop that to nearer the $300 price point.

    The best part? If rotation is slightly off, it can be fixed on site. That's unheard of with a full size projector retrofit. ;)

    That video makes it look so easy. But, what about if you wanna do demon eyes or a cfl halo shroud? I'm not good with stuff like this.

    Good to know. I've never been good with anything electrical so I've never tried. I picked up my retro's off another member a few years ago.

    i could do them, my price starts at 600 for a completed kit and goes up with additonal options. email me at ledilluminationsinfo@gmail.com and we can talk about what you want done and a final price of what it would cost.
