    I paid a fellow TW'er to perform the mod for me...

    Check out Ambiguous's thread for your options and pricing.

    Between shipping both ways and all of my upgrade's I spent quite a bit. (~$900 ) :eek: Worth it to me though, 2012 OEM lights are expensive and hard to come by used if you screw one up attempting the retro. His work is on par with OEM quality.


    Here is a great how to remove the 2012+ headlight video, and tips.

    If I bought parts alone I was going to spend $585 + shipping from TRS.

    He also has the bowls etc.. sprayed by a body guy. (Not rattle can)

    ~900 is with shipping back and forth to California.

    Not really a bad deal at all for a retrofit service eliminating the possibility of you destroying $600 worth of OEM lights + your new parts. :D I pretty much got the "loaded" FXR set up, you can go budget and go with different parts and still have him do it.

    You must be referring to the Mini projectors,not the FXR's which require cutting because they are full sized HID projectors.

    Yes, agreed it is a lot. Gotta pay to play lol. Once you have a car with a decent set of HID's you'll realize the cost is worth it. :cool: Do some reading on hidplanet.com and you'll be sick at the amount of money these guys spend on HID set ups.

    OOOOOR you can do what wild says and drop some HID's in your Halogen projectors. :eek:
