the word "retrofit" is too vague. i can retrofit a fish tank in there if you want!

i suspect you want a projector retrofit? will you be supplying the projector? what type of projector would you like? what kind of shroud?

i did an OEM HID retrofit but did NOT use any projectors. please be more specific on what you want done.

I'm kinda feeling that fish tank idea. If you can get the water to auto-level I want some.

uhm... ok...

i am currently running halogens.
i want a new set of headlights retrofitted with projectors.
the new set i want OEM used, good condition.
i have no parts, aside from new and unused AMP ballasts.
i am looking for low beam only, or a bi-xenon setup with the high beams disabled.
i would do whichever makes more economical sense.
i don't have any projectors in mind, but would like a sharp/steep cutoff with good light output.
my only objections are no halos, and no fluted shrouds where light leaks through/illuminates.

thanks.
