Is there are Retrofitting DIY?

So iv heard of alot of people retrofitting their headlights on here and I think it looks awesome so I was just wondering if there was a DIY anywhere on how to do this. I searched around and all I could find was people saying how much they like them. This seems like a fun project and I would greatly appreciate any help that I can get with this.
Thanks

It's difficult to write one up, there can be so many variables.

doing it on the stock headlights is what i wanted to do
http://www.hidretro.com/page35.htm i would love to get it looking like this
It looks like Infinite012 did it on his stock ones, hopefully he can give some input or ill try PMing him

it looks like on that website it would cost $1200-$1400 to hav them do it for you but i wasnt planning on spending that much money... if someone has done a retrofit for less than that then please post how much you spent

Is there a wiring diagram around of the factory harness on a Acura 1.7EL?

Re: Is there are Retrofitting DIY?

HIDPLANET.com

go to the forums and then have fun. go to the "university" section on the boards and there are countless retrofits, step by step in there. good luck

if you have any specific questions, i might be able to help. i did a retrofit in tyc's, which might be easier than in the oe housing, but its gonna be the same general concept.
