The retrofit has begun

More pics on the last page.


Drove up to Powhatan, VA (Just on the other side of Richmond) to drop off the Nali to Bjorn of CustomLightz. He ran the wiring harness and tested to make sure everything worked. This guy does some very professional work and he's cool as a fan. He will finish up tomorrow.

Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics and yes she is dirty because it has been raining all damn day!!

Very cool. Post more pics when it's done!

Hotness! Going to LOVE your Nali' Rai... between this and the Esky rear end, it's going to be off the hook!

Wish this guy was near me, I want single HID Projectors.

You should register over at hidplanet.com and make some inquiries.
Every retrofitter in the country posts over there.
There's bound to be one in SoFla.

Robbie, you could also contact Matt directly at theretrofitsource and ask him if he knows of any installers in your area.

I might Serge... I contacted that website that has them for $950, but I'm almost half-tempted to just do it myself. Maybe once we get situated in a bigger house that has a big garage that I can spread out and work in.

Honestly bud, I'll give you the same advice you often give me ... let someone who has done this before tackle this one.

Sumo, who's no mechanical slouch, in fact he works with cars, is now redoing his after the learning curve involved with his first go at it.

it's not impossible mind you, you might even benefit from what he's learned ... it's just very expensive components to be 'trying and erroring' with.

I realize that this post will only encourage you. lol

I appreciate it Serge. I'm pretty handy, especially with electronics. I worked building Car Audio systems for a good part of my life. I like modding things. money isn't the issue. I just want to try it. Seems as though I've been pretty darn good at building alot of electronic devices (esky harnesses for one). Parts only appear to be roughly $400...no?

Sounds about right for the 2 projectors ... might even be a little less as you don't need bi-xenon since you are retaining the incandescent highs.

Best thing to do is shoot an email to Matt asking for the bundle price for this setup http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=3925&d=1297628405 but with the Gatling shrouds (they line up perfectly with the oem housings).

He's the one who sent me that pic so he knows all the parts involved.


Sorry for the slight off-topic Rai whilst we are waiting for the pics!

Oh and Robbie, you're also gonna need a set of aftermarket oem clone housings.

It's done and I love it. I'll get some pics up when I get home to my camera tomorrow. Plus I need to wash this thing. It is so damn dirty. The cutoff is sharp as hell. I went with the 4300K because I wanted it to look like it came from the factory looking like that.

Serge did you get to take a ride in Bjorn's Accord? Damn that thing is fast!!

Yeah that Esky rear is gonna look really nice. I hooked up my G5s to make sure they work and they work like a charm. I'm just waiting on everything before I make that transformation. I have a new camcorder that records in 1080P so I'll make a nice vid when its all done.

lol no, but he told me all about it.

Buddy take some quick pics now of the headlight and the cutoff.

Dirt won't show in the night.
