well i spent.

$150 for the tsx projectors
$70 for the bracket
$5 for the washers and bolts
$200 for the Phillips 85122+ hid bulbs and ballast (Yes, expensive for the name brand but up to you on this set up)
$6 for the shroud
$6 for jb weld

so looks like a good $400 bucks. cheaper if you get a cheaper HID kit.

hmmm i just got my retro... i couldnt put a shroud cause for some reason my projectors are low with the brackets that i got... for a shroud to fit the projectors, the projectors will point up... and my cut off is like a U for some reason... it curves up on the sides

Nice to see you finally got it finished, projector looks flush, good work. I think you went a little crazy with a washer mod didnt you haha.. I see alot of flaring but still very nice. did you get the clear lens tsx or are the fresnel?
