My project probably cost more than theirs above, but I am all in at $1250 so far for new Denali housings, OEM projectors (RX-350) with a tune and clear lenses, Osram bulbs, ballasts, harnesses; plus new fog housings, Morimoto Matchbox projectors, bulbs, ballasts, and labor and install for both... I've heard of others being able to do a full build in under $500 though, so don't be thrown off by my high costs due to parts and extensive labor for modding the housings.
