i would check around the classifieds to see if anyone's putting them up for sale...

the projectors aren't as hard to get as before. if you wanna do them yourself, just purchase the projectors and retro them in.

you can also check this website:

you can usually find them on ebay along with used headlights so you can use your stock ones as a backup..

If you have an aftermarket hid kit, they sell a plug to convert your 9006 ballast into a D2S/R ballast. If you get an OEM hid kit then I think you have to splice wires.

no problem.

i believe he did a couple of the retros for some of the members on this board.

uptownGS and a couple other members got them done and from what i saw in the pics, he did some quality work.
