Matt's '07 Retrofit Build Thread
Hi guys, feel free to follow along (or not). I'll be continuously posting updates on this as I make progress. Starting a new job tomorrow, so I'll be doing a little at a time. I used to run a DDM kit in stock housings, but realized how blinding they were and pulled them out. Promised myself that I wouldn't run HIDs again unless I could do a proper retrofit.
Well, I sold a camera lens and will be using some of the profit to do it. I'll be following powerz69's awesome how-to thread and will be doing the headlights like r1lukasz did. The only difference is mine will have clear or blacked out reflectors....haven't decided yet:
Step 1: Order materials.........
Step 1 COMPLETE!
Ordered:
--Headlights with clear reflectors (eBay)
--Chrome turn signal bulbs (eBay)
--Stage III kit mentioned in how-to thread
And the guinea pig....wish me luck, guys!

Thanks! Only looks good cause it was just detailed. If you do it yourself you'd save a lot of money. Following the how-to thread, I'd estimate $475 for everything (kit, headlights, tools). To pay someone to do it would add at least another $200 to the mix, if not more, depending on what you want.

Ended up going with the Apollo shrouds and 5000K bulbs. I knew I'd go 5000K from the start as I prefer white to blue or yellow. The shrouds just came down to what looked the best....and after seeing a few of the Apollo shrouds I was sold.
Which LEDs did you go with? Could you post a link to them?
Thanks, guys!

These are the ones I got. For some reason they are priced higher and currently out of stock.
