Anyone here do HID Projector Retrofits?

I have a little project, but I don't trust myself with a plastic welder or to get the job done right.

If you know anyone, please send them my way.

I want to do this:

You don't need headlights for AutoX.

It's that whole "Number 13" bit.

Remember, my new ride's a '13 and it dragged me back in here.

True. And for that reason I've kept the j30 lights for years and done nothing with them...

But I've realized my car is never going to be a full on autox car. I will always drive it on the street.

And as such, I decided I want to go through with the j30 retrofit.

I don't need to, sure. But I want to.

Gagan, if/when you get this done I may be next in line. Let me know how it goes.
