Retrofits

[darklink991]

Hello again, ok so wife has shot down tinting the taillights and brake light. When we first got the car i took apart the headlights to paint them. The lens where all kinds of messed up. Well now the wife is saying I have the go to for retrofits..
I just ordered the replacement lens off ebay. they are brand new and crystal clear. But I am looking at this site BUYHIDS.COM HID Lights HID Kits Xenon Headlights Kit HID Headlight Kits HID Conversion Light and they have a retrofit kit for 200 dollars. I looked at the projectors and they are a very popular model...
Retrofit Headlights at the bottom of that link there is a kit for 200 and then another for 250. this is where my questions start. what is the difference. Is 50 dollars worth it. Does anyone know any coupons for free shipping or a discount on their retrofit kits. The project wont be tell 3-21-11 hoping to finish over my spring break. I will be posting taking apart headlights. and prepping them for the project. should I start the project once the lights come in? or will dust and stuff getting in there mess it up? And any suggestion on HIDs would be nice this will be my first retrofit, the site has a basic guide.

does anyone know where to get CCFL? I'm getting the mini gun shrouds and was wondering how hard they are to hook up. One pair I saw have another power pack thing to hook up. i thought they were like leds and all you do is hook up into the DTRL.

I have no idea hopefully someone else can help you out.

 

[cobalt123]

you can get the ccfl at blackcatcustomz i think or ddmtuning has them

 

[YelloEye]

Think I bought my CCFLs on eBay

Go with the $259 package, the difference is in the ballast/bulbs that are morimoto brand, they really worth it.
Have you asked for a shipping quote? I know trs offers free shipping to all HiDplanet : The Official Automotive Lighting Forum - The Buzz members, make an account there, you'll find lots of helpful info.
btw trs sells ccfls for $25

[darklink991]

25 dollar for shipping so 250 for lights 25 for ccfl with free shipping.anyone know what size ccfl for morimoto mini shrouds use. Sorry posting from cell

 

[darklink991]

ooo and on buyhids.com they have a coupon that was *FREESHIP* and it took the 25 dollar off for shipping.

and just one last thing with the way im doing my lights how will i seal it in the back i figured pvc pipe and maybe a flat piece to seal on and if i need to change anything i would just have to reseal the flat piece

 

[darklink991]

well never mind about freeship. Since its on their home page, guy sent me a email last night saying it was only on hids. but its on their home page and no other pages not on each of their hids just the homepage.

so anyways i have a question. My cobalt is a 2005. so when I go to hook up my ccfls i leave the cars lights on auto so my dtrl should come on. Where should I hook the ccfl inverters into can i hook them up right to the wires that go to my turn signals or are there a diff set to hook up too.

 

[cobalt123]

thats not bad i managed to get my set done for 120ish less

 

[darklink991]

I needed new lights if you look at my album. My stockers are bad. Do you know how and where to hook up halos at like which two wires.

 

[arman14]

Just buff the lenses out.
Some people hook up the halos to the side markers harness.

 

[cobalt123]

yup, either solder them in or just connect the positive and negative wires to the metal wiring in the side marker socket and put a bulb in the socket to connect them

 

[darklink991]

I got splice box to hook them up. As for my lens water got inside and started to eat the inside and rusted the main reflector.

 

[cobalt123]

aw yeah good idea to replace. I was lucky and didnt have to order a second set so thats why mine came out cheaper.

question: are you going with D2S bixenon bulbs and D2S adapters?
