I really think the retro HID/projector path is the way to go. Instead of doing this myself, can i purchase an already completed retro kit?

You would have to contact a company who does them... like BlackFlameCustoms.com. They are a sponsor on here as well...

Those could be a START to a retrofit, but those are CRAPPY projectors. You would still have to swap out the projector.

Ya there isnt really a comparison when your buying something like that spyder projector or the anzo equivalent vs a custom retro. A good company that does the retro projectors uses higher quality parts. Id go with the spyder set or the anzo set use them for a while until you find a place you like and send them in to them so they can gut the junk lenses and halo rings and put good quality parts in them.

My problem with most of the retrofit companies is they charge like 1k to do mini h1 or d2s.... I want real projectors like rx350 or something.... but those take alot more work. I find it hard to pay 1k for a hid setup that costs about 250 complete and as simple to install as minis...

I would like to have very nice high-end setup, that hopefully is plug and play. I do have the capabilities to do this myself, but i really just dont have the time, and i find value in the awesome retrofit setup and Im willing to pay for it but I do think that $1k is way too much.

And what are "rx350's" is that a model of projector or is that the projector lenses out of an actaul RX350?

That is bi-xenon hid projectors from a actual lexus rx350.

My retrofit I did on my yukon has acura tl projectors and mini h1 projectors. 4 low and 4 high beams. Leaps and bounds better light output than anything I have driven next to in the past 2 years.

The oem projectors usually need a little modding, but once done they out perform the aftermarket ones by far. Some have better attributes, some have a great high beam and others have a great low beam. Some have both.
