those are pretty easy, but you can really only fit two types of smaller, low performance hid projectors in them either the audi/valeo d2s single or e46 bosch single. ive done a set with the valeos and it turned out okay.

hey thxs gearbox, like always ur a huge help...

is there any other headlights with a black housing that offers more retrofits...

 
Rep Power: 812

not really, they are all cramped for space inside.

ok so what about our stock headlights, theres more options for HID kits, right

 
Rep Power: 812

yeah its bigger, some people even fit TL projectors inside which are some of the biggest and brightest. im sure s2000 would fit too but the tl are bixenon lo/hi so those would be good if you want hi beam.

yea i def want hi beam lol..so i cant take my stock lights send them out to a company and get the TL projectors in them and just tell them to paint the insides black for me...

any good places to send lights to?

http://www.hidillusionz.com/ is one of the best. they should be able to do just about anything in oem housing, but they dont work on projector housing.

thxs gear i think im just gonna get a set of new stock headlights and send them out to the company u recommended...thxs gear

you can ask if they work with aftermarket "oem style" cause those are only $100 shipped a pair on ebay brand new and they look exactly like oem. since they are gonna cut into them anyway, the original reflector being sucky isnt an issue. i have some on my car now and they are pretty nice. the light output sucks ofcourse.

i just went to that site you recommended gearbox and sent them a message on what the going rate to have tsx projectors put in our stock housings and if it does matter whether or not the housings are oem or knockoffs. i like my hid's but i'd rather have them with projectors and i don't like any of the aftermarket projector headlights for our car. as soon as i get a response i'll post it in case anyone else is interested.

 
Rep Power: 812

yeah good choice man. projector hid is so much better. just remember with 01-03 headlight, you want to get a bixenon projector that does lo and hi beam in the same projector. the best are acura TL, but there are a few others like E55, rs6, e46, etc.

quality are far greater than aftermarket headlights. But if you rather go
with aftermarket headlight we have no problems retrofitting them as well.

Any portions of the retrofit headlights you want us to paint low gloss
black is free of charge.

Your looking at spending roughly about $835 + return shipping, I'm not sure
if you already have an HID kit.

We don't require any of our clients to pay a down deposit. All you have to
do is send us your headlights. We'll retrofit the HID parts into your
customize headlights. We'll e-mail you pictures of your finalized retrofit
photo-shoot, for your approval. After you approval and payment completion,
we'll ship your headlight back to you.

If you have any questions please feel freely to ask, e-mail us back or call

customize headlights.

Am I crazy or is that a lot of money?

 
Rep Power: 0

is it alot of money, but think about all the labor, getting the parts peice by peice...look around here for people who have done their own retrofit, even when they sell them they're at about $600 and up...it really comes down to what projector you wanna use...that's where there dollars really add up
