    Where's the best place to get retrofit headlights at now? Was looking at Teq customs@TEQ Customs for a set but not sure what my other options were.

    Lots of issues with turnaround times people are reporting, whether its Teq, BXBuilt, etc. And QC issues. If you're just looking at upgrading the performance, and not specifically wanting the projector look, take a l9ok at the ultimate headlight upgrade thread in the 2nd gen forum (stickied at the top). Read the 1st several posts then hop to the last few pages fpr more recent discussion.

    Yeah was looking for the led projector look with halos.

    Hoping to find a quality product that will last last. Just need them before April when my state inspection is due again. The ones I have are starting to get condensation in them. The coating is also coming off the aftermarket lenses.

    Order the parts and do it yourself. Save money, time and make it exactly how you want it. There's a bunch of retrofit threads available. :thumbsup:

    I don't have the time to do them myself is the problem. I'm still trying to find time to install the lift kit I got back in May. I work out of town during the week and have to try to get all the house work and everything else done on the weekends. That's why I'm trying to find a quality place to order them from.

    I get it, I have a 2 year old box of mods that I haven't got to yet. Best of luck!
