Default Anybody know a good headlight retrofit shop?

I'm from the bay area and I was wondering if there is any shops around that does headlight retrofitting? I have the 2006 IS 250 and I have halogen projectors and I am thinking about using honda S2000 or tsx projectors. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

You can try Exact Motorsport in Milpitas. I know they do HID light. Just give them a call and find out. I trust them with my GS.

What if you just swap them out for 2IS HIDs? This seems like it would be less effort, even if it is more expensive.

If you're looking to just change the color, you could also just buy a set of ballasts and rebased bulbs.

with the 2IS headlights, normally i wouldn't say this, but i'd recommend a plug and play kit. for one, it seems those projectors are really crisp. i've seen a pnp kit in the halogen projector and the cutoff is pretty damn amazing. as far as i know exact motorsports does not do retrofitting, they will do installs but not retrofit.

Currently I have 5300k HID kit, but it doesn't seem that bright at all. The cutoff is no good and its not that wide. The s2000 and tsx projectors are brighter and cutoff is real sharp and the beam is much wider. That's how I decided to go this route.
