    Its not expensive at all if you DIY. It cost me $80 for the hid kit and the projector and an afternoon (+ any headaches from issues you encounter). Expect this to jump anywhere from 500-1000 when done by a reputable company.

    But to be truthful, Ive done more retrofits for many variations of vehicles for 10+ years.

    Retrofits are the way to go. You can customize them anyway you want too. Mine cost me about 450 bucks but the light output is fantastic. However HIDs have their own issues

    That's the "expensive" part I was referring to.
