I'll borrow some pics from the forum and walk ppl thru it this weekend.. In the meantime if ppl are interested, you can pick up the STI-R clear lens from www.theretrofitsource.com I normally deal with Matt. They are 50 bucks.

The stock projectors on both the pre LED headlights and LED headlights have a side mounted projector. So when you do the retro you will have to cut a hole in the back of the headlight to remove the bulb or pry aparts the lights every time your HID bulb goes out. Other than that If you have done retrofits before mounting shouldn't be a problem. I'll look at home to see if I can find those pictures of how I mounted them.



HAHA. naw that was made by Arkym



Would you like a set by set on how I did the retro or set by set on swapping out the stock lens for the STI-R clear lens??
How much does something like that cost?
