H.I.D. retrofit

Here is my problem... I have problems seeing at night and have decided to go ahead and do a retrofit on my 06 SCREW. The problem here is that I am not the most mechanically inclined person. Are there any companies that will actually do the retrofit for you and ship you the lights and housings so they are just plug and play? I've looked but haven't found anything.

Do people even read before posting anymore, he wants everything put together and ready to rock, not to try and do it himself.

HIDillusionz is probably the best Retro-fit service. From what I've seen they do amazing work, have great customer service and they use better performing projectors than the Valeo replicas you get at SickHids.

Did you bother to open the link before you posted that? HIDPlanet is about retrofitting, they also have an area for people offering retrofitting services to those who don't want to do the retrofit themselves, which is exactly what I linked to. You'd know that if you actually bothered to investigate the link before posting silly statements like the above.

To the OP, I believe there's three retrofitters in the link in my first post here.

Can't really say I searched too hard, but the reason for that is that I am stuck in Afghanistan doing what I do.

Everyone, Thanks for the help.

Yeah, your link leads to another forum's post that does NOT include links, nothing that remotely resembles a business, just some e-mail addresses of a couple of the forum's members. Plus that post is almost 5 years old, I wonder how many of those folks are still around.

Thanks for your service and stay safe!

Give Brian (highvoltage420@comcast.net) at SickHids an e-mail. He can set you up with whatever you'd like. He's real easy to work with and customize your lights however you want them. Be sure to tell him you found out about him at F150online.com.

Edited to add: After looking at the other sites listed above, it appears SickHids is also the most affordable.
