If anyone is gonna do this, i suggest talking to matt or anyone at TRS. I ordered a set last week with shrouds and it came too around 200. After i talked with Matt, i ordered another set, 2 sets of shrouds, Headlight resealing glue, 2 Hi beam harness and 2 Lowbeam Harness (Quad Low and Hi beams) For a deal. $220. New Set of headlights off ebay. $135

Right now, Im about $540 all cost for parts.

ahhh you are doing it yourself.. i don't have your kind of 'skrillz' so i'd have to get a shop to do it for me : /

 

[sumo]

soulsea having a shop do it for him. Think they quoted 800-1000

Yup, 500-700 for the hardware depending how 'high end' I wanna take it and 200 for the full housing quad retrofit and vehicle install .. right now it looks like the whole think is gonna run round $750/800.

If the completed/finished product is as **** as I think it will be, this will be on my upcoming/future mod's list...

Light output alone will be worth it.

What? Thats really cheap. I got quoted $1100 from a local shop thay does retrofitting although. They were some oem headlights that already had them retrofited. Trust me the light output on those were greay

Well, the hardware quote I got from the same place sumo is getting his was for $590 shipped. I'm actually using some upgraded parts from the shop that's doing the install, but I don't have to pay ship for that so the whole hardware bill is gonna be around $650 + plus $200 for the install, which would make it $850. However I am supplying my oem housings which I don't have to pay for, but I did have to get a temp setup whilst this is done so if you wanna add $200 to it you can ... although I'll be selling those when the retros kick in.

Bottom line my own eom housings + hardware for high quality quad bi-xenon hid + retrofit and install = $850

You know how these things go, I'll be happy to not cross the $1k threshold by the time it's all said and done.

My factory housing with HID's light output is more than enough. Projectors are better but definitely a want... not a need. But I want them...bad.

850 well worth! How far do you have to drive to go get them installed?
