Sorry =( We actually don't make much at all doing it for the forum price. As you can see the retail price we'd like to comfortably sell it for is a lot higher.

Just giving you an example lets say you're using TSX-R projector with lens for two lights
the money for Ballasts, bulbs, projector, and lens will come out to right around $250-$300..

It takes about 4 hours to open both headlights and clean up as much silicone as we can.

Paint it Matte Black, if you do color scheme its + time for masking but just say an hour.

Reseal like another hour to two hours

so in the end 7 hours and that doesnt include the actual 4-5 hours its going to take to cut and aim everything

so $300 - $650 = $350..

guy spends about 13 hours on your retro fit at lets just say $10 an hour.. (13 x 10 = $130) + $350 = $480

$480 - $650 = $170.. eat the tax, wires, clips etc..

$150ish for us to keep the lights on etc..

lol

Theres cheaper retrofitters on HID planet and your local craigslist but we do it as a full time job with a 2-3 day turn around time for basic retro fit.. versus a 1-2 week wait etc..

You must be a math nerd. It took a couple of seconds to figure out what you meant. -

Not even close brah. I suck at math. But I know how to add and subtract, that part is pretty simple.

It was clearly just a typing mistake on Eric's part. I am just teh jerky

Yeah they're a pita. Worth paying someone with known ability a good buck to do it properly for sure.
This isn't really one of those areas you want to cheap out.

I can't wait to get my Quads done.

yea, i took them apart. Seems really easy to do, only hard part is aligning it properly.. everything is measured, just need to go get metal to fabricate a bracket..Idea im going with is a pivot point on the metal plate holding the projectors and two screws to align vertically and horizontally... we'll see how it goes..
