Evo retrofit

Hey guys. I'm kind of new to the evo world. Well I've had mine for almost a year now, so not too new. lol. Anyways, I know this is my first post so I'll try to make it good. I work on headlights and own CustomLightz, but never worked on evo headlights, so I figured I should try on my lights. I got an Evo 9 MR so I knew this would be something very different. I know a lot of you guys are mostly about performance, so I hope this will not get flamed or anything. I didn't like the lighting out of the evo projectors too much, so I decided to use the Acura TL bixenons since those are the only ones that fit the closest to the evo proejctor and have nice output. I took it one step further by adding some FX35 bixenons to my high beam section so I have a dual low and high beam running. Then I just added an Integra lens to the foglight just to give it a triple projector look. I think it came out pretty good, but I would like to hear some comments on them as well. I dont have great pics, so this will have to do until I get some better pics.







Here is the color modification I made to the projectors as well. I will get better beam pics later.

Cool man; I'm glad you're in the area. How much do you charge for just the housing? Shoot me a PM...

Also, do you have some examples of other cars you've done? Got a website?

[Nevermind]... Found your website on Google. Man Google rocks.

lol Thanks for the comments. Well for the bad comment.....well it's all good, it's all about what the owner likes I guess. Anyways, I do retrofitting, so cost wise it's not too much for me since I do this sorta stuff anyways. But as far as labor goes, just hit me up a pm or email me at green1999accord@hotmail.com for a full detail in price break down. I don't want to get into any trouble with the admins or anything like that. But the cost of the entire project of what I got done may end up costing you anywhere from $1200+. But remember this price includes parts and labor, which include 2 pairs of projectors, another set of HID's, wiring harness, and whatever else I may have forgotten. If you just want a single projector retrofit, it will be much cheaper. But yeah, glad most of you guys like it.

You should definitely market this bro. It looks great and if the price is right I think a lot of us would go for something like that rather than the aftermarket hids

Well this is what I do though. Customlightz is a business that I started, but also been doing this several years before that as well. I basically build oem hidprojector retrofits for cars that don't come with them, or just upgrade them to better projectors. I don't deal with aftermarket parts because of the quality they have. But I know there are a lot of people that will also say they don't have any problems. But yeah, just hit me up a pm if you guys are interested. I can pretty much customize your headlights any way that you want.
