Total i put about $2,500 in to them (but I still have my old healdights which can fetch about $900 on Ebay) so after I sell them, It'll have run me $1,600 and about 30 hours of labor in to them (adjustments and such). Which I know is absolutly too much, but I can't think of any thing better lookin then coming down the road with some headlights that blows people away...then they see the car which just adds to the whole package. I knows it corney, but to each his own. Hope this helps Gpair.
whoa you bought new headlights for $1650??? You could have gotten some used ones for much much cheaper...and I don't think you are going to get $900 for used headlights, I've been searching eBay to see how much my used headlights are worth and I say about $250-$400 is how much I'm going to get...but your retrofits are very very nice

Clean car man but you spent a butt load on them headlights. Can you give us some more night pics of the output? I'd like to see how your output compares to some of the other retros I've seen using TSX/TL/E46 combos.

I bought brand new OEM headlights for a retro too but they only cost $900 and thats from the dealer. But those are for the sedan. Are coupe headlights that much more??
