Can anyone do retro fit in 1 day??? For money

Right now i have a poorly aligned retro in my car. Xenon off of A6 with sonar headlight. I just want to redo the housing. If i bring a unmodded TYC, can anyone finish it in one day?

The reason for a rush is that i know that most of the retro guys are up in LA and im down in San diego.

One day is almost impossible. It takes time for the silicone to dry, aiming, etc. for it to be puuurfecto.

can it be done in two then? I guess i can spend the nite at my siter's or something... I just want my lights to be lined up perfectly. ( I just rode in my friends s2000 and saw what a xenon lights should look like...) Maybe you can do something other work too 7thgenasiancivic. I heard that you are quite a handy man...

It could be done in a day but it wouldn't be ready to be installed for a day or two until everything dries and cures.

i can.

but what kinda materials do u have....

im currently working on a TSX retro (which is extreamly hard because of the width of the projector. and oh yea, im putting it in a projector based headlight, not the oem)


we can work out the details once i finish my retro.

but if u expect it to be done in 1 day, its gonna be a bit more $

A hole in the housing? I dont think that is me. I do not know the exact year of the A^. I got them already made from someone. But i do know that the lense is bigger than the most. At least it looks like it to me. Where are u located?

Not going to be easy...

Btw how did u manage to fit TSX projectors? I when I was looking around to get my lights done...I did some measuring and it seem like the TSX projectors were too long. They would fit in the housing, but it would stick out to far into the engine bay and you could not get the little ignitor bulb connector on without hitting things.

if you want your retrofit done well, its going to take longer to do. I suggest just buying a second set of tycs or put your stock headlights in and take your time with the retro. Getting the alignments perfect takes a lot of time. Alignments can affect your light outputs.

thats where the level of skill [of the retrofiter] makes a difference...

they are too long...but thats not the main problem...they are WAYY to wide...i had to compensate ALOT for that....
