I want this guy to build me a kickass set of headlights!!!! I want some killer a$$ bright lights like something that is on a 747 passenger jet. Let me know!

hey dude...umm well im going to have to get them rewired. a guy thats on the forums that is local to me did it at some place and they charged him around $95. So yeah ill have to do that. I bough the 06-07 headlights in absolute perfect condition for $350 US Shipped (also includes bulbs but no ballasts), i can get you them for the same price from the same guy if u pm me, here in Canada the dealerships that i called charge $600 a piece for the 06 headlights...$1200 is something i wouldn't want to pay.

Do you have a link to a good DIY for the Canada conversion? The one in the "Canada Regional" doesn't seem to be complete at all... I'd do a US conversion if there was something written, and that one I am uncomfortable following due to it being half complete.

Are they HIDs, sorry I am a little confused but wouldn't you also have to add a ballast. Seems like some extra wiring is needed.

my car already has HIDs so the ballasts just swap over as far as i've read. the extra wiring comes in because of the difference between canadian and american car lighting setup..

I don't have anything of the sort, but I can imagine it's not nearly as complicated as it seems.

I have no doubt that your probably right.... But I'll bury this idea unless I come across something that explains what needs to be done that I am comfortable with. Thanks for your help!
