Default Looking for a shop/person who does lens swap/retrofitting

I bought my 06 gs 300 back in april and ever since i got it i couldnt stand the light output from the headlight. Ive decided to take the leap and swap the lens with clear TSX-R lens but im a little weary of baking my headlamp plus i need to replace the ballast. So if theres anyone whose pretty good at this, im more than willing to pay for ur service or if you know of any shops where i can get this done at please let me know. Thank for u help

Are you just wanting to swap the lenses alone or the whole projector? If it's just the lens, I can probably do it but if it's the projectors, I can't lol.

I was looking for people to paint my headlights and also do a retrofit for my fogs but there's no one local. There's people out in California to do it but no way I'm paying shipping costs out there and I need my car to get to school. I ended up baking my headlights open myself and painted them black. Just two days ago, I finished doing projectors in my fog lights. It's much easier than you really expect.

WOW, You are God sent. I just want to swap out the lens, and possible change the ballast. I already have the replacement OEM ballast. I will order the lens in the next week. I live in the south suburbs but im more than willing to come to u or vice versa.
PS your whip looks sickkkk!!!

I'm in the southside of Chicago a mile away from where the White Sox are at. Where are you at exactly?
