Why not just by the aftermarket halo projectors?

I've seen a few pictures of the cutoff from those headlights and I am not impressed. If it was as half as good as some of the retrofitted headlights, I think a lot more people would go that route instead.

I'm also not a fan of halos and I would like to do a quad projector retro.

True, I know someone who does custom lights but its going to cost an arm and a leg.

I have no issue performing the retro myself... it's just finding the parts to do it for a reasonable price. I am no way in hell paying $500 just for a headlight that I only need the projectors from.

That's the price you have to pay to mod your car correctly. I've seen photos of the light output on those Ebay headlights and they look terrible.

When I asked this guy to make me custom headlights he told me to get those halo ones($300) then he can do all the stuff I wanted to do to the lights (leds, glow, halo,...)
he told me its would cost $800 with all the mods I wanted.
So if I did it, it would have cost me $1,100 for headlights!
Sorry, but f*** that!

You can always get rx330, tsx,fx, s2000 projectors and they would look very nice. They are not that expensive either
