Exclamation ATTENTION projector retrofitters!

Anyone know of any retrofitters? someone did my lights, but aimed them incorrectly, how much would it cost to get them fixed? A friendly reminder that I am on a student budget, and am willing to drive 2 hours away from Westminster, ca.

r1forever80 is a great person to talk to about this. He frequents this subforum I'm sure he'll chime in.

Given that you are in SoCal you should hit hit up BAUS Auto, they are local to you (South El Monte) and do retrofits.

Who did your retrofit? Pics?

well thats their regular price for a quad setup and they told me it they'd have to re'do the same steps just as if they were to do it from scratch.. so its reasonable.. JDMcain got his lights done there, and it is ff'n amazing, best ive seen on a G. No one else knows of any retrofitters?

Price seems fair depending on how your current lights were setup. To go back in and fix someone elses mistakes can take time.

r1forever is the only other retrofitter I'd recommend to do your Sedan retrofit, he's in TX.

You came by when I wasnt here QQ sorry about that.

We're trying to get our fabricator to handle all walk in customers and I guess he got a little confused at what I told him. Sorry he's still new to sales (Henry the bald guy).


The lights you have on I cant work with =( it's JB welded/epoxy or whatever in the back there's no way to remove your current set up without breaking the reflector. When we retrofit we mount the projector on to the factory reflector so without this its kinda x.x


He quoted you regular retail price for the retro fit =(

$650 For Duals
$1100 for Quads

This starts your basic retro fit. But you'll need to bring us another new set of lights to work with =(

Rerofits aren't cheap, lots of work go into doing it properly. Eric's prices are very reasonable for a retrofit.
