    How's it going. I am fairly new to TW and one mod I'd like to do is updated headlights. As much as I like the XB's I am still considering a projector retrofit. I am not one to take on retrofitting my own headlights and will look to a vendor to handle.

    I noticed Kustom54 is no longer listed as vendor? I also sent them a PM from a thread they had from 2019 but haven't received a response and noticed their thread is gone also.

    I reached out to Lightwertz for a quote.

    Hidretrofitkits is a online vendor that sells pre-made retroffited headlights. Has anyone used this vendor and their pre made headlights?

    Thanks,

    You might find post #5506 interesting on retro testing. Anything less than an OEM D2S projector is going to be a downgrade from the XBs. Especially avoid the mini-H1 China garbage.

    Thanks. I will review the information.
    I asked the HIDretrofit vendor for the details of the components in the premade projectors they have, but they weren’t forthcoming with the info other that telling me they are biLED projectors. For the price I Might as well buy the XBs.
