    I will be doing these for customers if you really want them. They are not cheap, but well worth the price. PM me if you would like more info.

    I can buy the kit and build them into your headlights, or I can buy new headlights also and sell them as a complete kit that will just swap out with your original headlights. All you would have to do is run the harness, which is very simple.

    ^ Great Job. . . great JOB @ making me want a LED light bar in my lower grille! :mad:


    Those don't understand how AMAZING these Retros are, are seriously missing out. Yes, its expensive but I promise you, this mod ranks up there with Suspension & Rim/Tire Mods.


    Its much Needed.:p


    Think of it this way, cars that have expensive projector headlights all cost a pretty penny. You can get the same results of a fraction of that cost.

    Thanks a lot man. They really do make a huge difference. You definitely get what you pay for. Go ahead and place the order for that
    light bar whenever you want. Lol These things are insanely bright. I'm glad I started selling their products, they are top of the line.

    Btw...you have a good looking truck yourself. Good job.

    Are the rubber boots in the back where you plug in the bulb the stock boots? They look like they're different.

    Yes, they are the original boots but they do have to be modified to fit around the new plug.

    Ok guys and girls...I've had a lot of interest in these lights since I made this thread so I will just make a post for everyone.

    I will be building these for customers on a first come first serve basis. If I get busy there will be a waiting list so please check with me on that before you place your order.

    The first step will be picking out what projector kit you want and choosing your options. I will be dealing only with TRS for the projector kits. They have great products, everything is in stock, fast delivery, and great customer service. As far as prices on the kits, what you see on their website is what you will pay. I do not profit from the kits in any way. You will need to make me a list of what kit you want and what options. You can look at all their products here: www.theretrofitsource.com

    The second step will be deciding if you want to use your own headlights or order new ones. I can get new BHLM lights for about $150 if you would like to go that route.

    Once you have decided on all the parts you will need to send me the money via Paypal for the total of all parts plus the 3% fee that Paypal charges.

    Once I receive the money I will order everything. It should take about a week to receive all the parts. Once I have everything in hand I will begin retro fitting your lights. Please give me a solid week to do them as it takes a lot of time waiting on paints, epoxies, silicones, etc...to dry. All these chemicals must have time to dry and gas out otherwise they will fog up the housings once they are completed and resealed.

    Last but not least, I will be charging $400 for my labor, this includes the $100 discount for TW members. This will also include all the miscellaneous materials I need to do the job such as cut off wheels, grinding wheels, epoxies, glues, silicones, nuts and bolts, etc... If you want the bezels and/or reflector bowls painted OEM colors to match your vehicle this will cost extra. I have a paint shop who gives me really good deals. Other companies I have looked into who offer these services charge anywhere from $300-$1200 PLUS materials, so I think my price is pretty fair. This is not an easy task and takes a lot of work and time to complete the right way. It also consists of me tearing the front end of my own truck apart to mount your lights and get them aligned perfectly.

    Once the entire project is done, I will send you pictures of the finished product along with an invoice for the remaining balance plus shipping. Once the entire balance is paid, I will send the lights out and email you with the tracking number.

    These are by far the best lights you can put on your vehicle without making them illegal on the road. If you want the best, it will cost you. This is definitely the best mod I have personally done to my truck. Once you drive around with these lights you will never want to drive without them again. No more blinding people from the glare.

    If you have any other questions that I haven't yet answered please feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer them for you.

    * I also sell regular plug n play HID kits for those of you who want better lighting but are not ready to pay these prices for lights.

    Thanks for looking.

    If you were smart about it you would make a jig that you could bolt the head lights into to align them

    It is already in the process, just takes some time. Until then I still have to use my truck as the jig.

    ^ How much is that Light Bar? I mean I like it.

    If I were to get it, it would be a over kill for what I need it for.:D

    Plus, I'd be scared if someone rips it off my truck!

    The light bar on my truck is a 30" bar which sells for $999 MSRP. My sale price on this bar is $850. They do have different sizes if you want one but don't want to spend that much money. They are very bright and durable lights and they draw very little current. They are all aluminum housings with lexan lenses which are virtually unbreakable. The lights do come with a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects and are completely sealed making them water and dust proof. These lights are definitely the brightest most durable lights I have ever seen. They are expensive, but you get what you pay for. If you compare them to top of the line HID racing lights they are cheaper, last longer, draw less current, way more durable, and they do not bounce around like traditional round off road lights do. If you want the best...these are the only way to go!!

    They also sell security nut kits which are pretty hard to get off without the right tool. No matter how much you try to protect it though, if someone really wants it they are going to get it, and probably tear your truck apart during the process.

    30" Rigid Industries which I sell for $850. These lights are much better than Vision X. But thanks for showing everyone the price difference between RI and Vision X.

    Not bad if your willing to pay $550 extra for the "Vision X" logo.

    Screw that, I don't care about logos. But $850 is still out of my price range. I guess I will have to get the harbor freight brand :D

    Black Head Light Mod. It consists of pulling your headlights apart and painting the chrome bezel black.
