I recieved several e-mails asking me to do retrofits, but sorry I'm not going to do any retrofits for anyone, it a pain in the *** and it takes a lot of time. But if you have any questions I'll try my best to answer them.

This was my frist retrofit I ever did, so if I can do it, you guys can too. I recieved most of my help from hidplanet.com and bought most of my parts from there and ebay.

TSX Projectors = $195
Phillips D2S Bulbs = $70
STI Ballast = $150
E46 Shrouds = $60
JB Weld = $25
Nissan OEM rubber butyl headlight sealer = $23

These are not for our cars, but the basic idea applies to all cars:

Sure if you have questions, but I don't do retrofits. My car was the first and last time I'm doing it. It's a pain in the ***, but worth it in the long run.

here is a recent pic
