Has anyone ordered the projectors from there site!!! Reviews just orders a set so won't get them in for a week or so. I would love to do a real retrofit but I don't have the time being in the military! regardless the stock headlight are pretty torn up. Any advice would be much appreciated. Just pick my first Taco up about a week ago.

 

@Frmrbob Did you end up ordering from these guys? How were they? I was thinking about it...

 

Yes I did. Honestly I wasn't to happy with them with in 2 months I ended up with condensation in the housing. The cutoff on the projector are horrible. So I ended up picking up the Spyder headlights to replace those I like them much better. But I also ended up saving some Christmas money and got a Retrofit done from AmericanRetrofit.com it was a little expensive, but well with it if you can do your own Retrofit I would recommend it. Here's some pics of the Retrofit

 

Just went on there website. I've been thinking about replacing my stock headlamps and one option is going with retrofit. I noticed the options range from $400 to $1200+ I don't have a clue what any of those options even are!?...RGB remotes, projectors, shrouds, front and rear Morimoto halos? Any links to understanding retrofit lights before I make the purchase so I at least know what I'm getting?

 

If you are going to order retrofits and not do you own. I recommend these guys also lots of info on the thread about halos and passive demon eye mods. Prices are high because of the labor and can get higher because people like to add and customize to the actual projector themselves.

Just got this from them in an email.

Hey Joey,

Of course, I will explain each of them for you in order.

4 channel RGB remote: an optional special remote for the halos if you have more than one RGB accessory this allows you to put each accessory at a different color at once. It is an extra and is not needed as we provide a standard wireless remote to control the color changing halos. The standard remote controls all RGB accessories together so everything is the same color.

Custom paint: We can leave the headlights all chrome, paint the housings black, white, or however you would like.

Projectors: The acme Mini H1 projector is our standard Mini H1 projector. The Morimoto Mini H1 7.0 projector is a bit higher quality and has a sharper cutoff line. The Morimoto Mini D2S 4.0 projectors are a step above that. If you aren't a stifler about the little tiny things then go with the acme projectors.

Shrouds: we offer many different style shrouds to choose from. We mount the halos on/inside the shrouds and then we mount the shrouds onto the projector to hide the solenoid and cutoff shield. Apollo 3.0 and panamera are our most popular shrouds.

Front mounted halo: these halos are mounted on the front of the shroud.

Rear mounted halo: these halos are mounted inside/behind the shroud and shine through the given holes in the shroud you choose.

Morimoto Demon eyes: these are little LED modules that we mount behind the projector lens to illuminate the lens in different colors.

HID Kit: we do recommend an HID kit with HID projector headlights. They are a key part of the retrofit to produce optimal light output.

Lens etching: we can laser engrave any design you can think of on your projector lenses. Just select yes and send us the image you desire.

Morimoto LED fog lights: we unfortunately do not offer fog lights for your model vehicle.

Hopefully this clears everything up a bit, if you still have some questions don't hesitate to ask!

 

If you are going to pay someone to do a retrofit. I would go FX-R projectors or if you want something really nice and want to pay the money the muranos are great. I wouldn't pay someone that much for some D2s. D2S' are good I have them, but if you are paying that much money might as well get more. Check out Rechelon they are great.

 

Thanks man, I'm just now in the research phase so I I at least have a rough idea what I'm putting my money into. I'all look into those companies as well

 

no problem. If I were to do mine again I would choose OEM housing vs aftermarket and I would leave my DTRL chrome and leave out the halos.

I had some issues with my aftermarket housing quality was not good at all and my amber halos were burnign out. The only way to replace them is to rip the headlights back open. Look decent, but not worth the hassle IMO.

Eventually, I'm gonna get a new set built. Probably go with OEM housing, FX-R projector and gatling shrouds, with everything in the housing painted black except for the DTRL and a passive amber demon eye mod (that just means the area behind the lens is painted amber so when the lights are off it will look like I have amber bulbs).
