You can contact several people. I build them, have made a set fro Riceburner, you can see his pictures. In the middle of building a pretty awesome set for Ryan (sythe_snake). You can contact me, willing to talk and help you with some ideas.

Lol. Why do ppl see the price rag of 350$ and freak out. Honestly. That barely covers a full retrofit kit from trs. Ya don't wanna know what type of builds I've done. I keep the cheap builds on the Facebook page. The 700$+ builds are secret projects not many will get to see. Biggest reason is once the price tag goes higher than 200$. That's when we get the "hell no the gen headlights cost XXX and are just as good" . Lol I love it when they tell me that. If any of ya going to Carlisle. Look for a lbm Balt. Check out the lights.

but the gen headlights do look just as good I dropped over 600 on parts for mine, so a price of 500 to 800 for retrofit headlighs including everything needed depending on the light out wanted is reasonable

I laugh when people send me a message saying they want Mini h1's and are onlylooking to spend $300-350. That is about the cost of the kit, basically saying that I do them for free. People in this community are cheap and want everything for nothing. I've done a couple sets on other cars and the amount they will pay is amazing. Got a guy looking for me to do a retro on is 2002 Trans Am. Said i have $1200 haha
