Hey anyone in the area experienced with retro fits, baking headlights etc? I wanted to clean my headlights up and do a lens swap on my 06 wrx. Pm me so we can talk compensation.

IMO, id only change lens if you were upgrading from OEM reflective bowl to projectors. otherwise, id get what u can for your used set and buy new or less worn. retrofitting is fairly simple with the right amount of patience and focus. for me, the most time consuming and PITA part was cleaning channels of old silicone.

I bought retrofit source TSXR lenses I want to swap into the stock 06 WRX halogens, which they say is direct swappable. And use H7 HID.

Yeah... I asked TRS and Lightwerks and they recommended just an HID swap because the stock WRX headlight has a projector, and the only difference between the OEM HID and the halogen is the bowl.

I just need to swap lenses, and get ballasts.
