Says the guy who has invested >$1,000 in one retrofit, but still.
I looked up the thread about it and it doesn't seem too bad. The money it takes to get them is crazy! Lol how much would you say al together it runs? About 200 with using yiur stock headlights. Of course id have to get it all done in one day in order to drive again. But yeah they look a lot better. Also I looked up the HIRs and for about $60-75 I could get themQuote:

Okay cool I appreciate all the help and tips. So when I get there I know who to ask!Quote:

SD customer service has been good to me before in the past. Years ago when they came out with them they had a group buy going on ended up purchasing a set and a few guys had issues with them and they were informed and I choose to send them back instead of going through the hassle of trying my luck. Refunded me within a few days and they paid for shipping. I hope you paid around $230 or so for them because now on eBay there going for $400+
$100Quote:

Make sure you have the plug first before you buy it.
Ik they spiked to $400 the day after I bought them. They were on there for 240 and I made an offer at 200, 210, and 220$ and got them for that. So when I seen they jumped up n still haven't shipped I was freaking out. They were supposed to get ahold of me today n still haven't but maybe I'll call me later.Quote:

Lol yeah I agree..I'll have to see how money is, I got a Vegas plane ticket to pay for in a couple days!
That's what I'm here for. And nice score on the spoiler. The difference between that one and the regular one is night and day, visually.Quote:

Lol thanks and yeah it does, it's just been sitting in the trunk tho, only 20 degrees and about to snow where I'm at. :( ill need to get some sand paper and figure out what to do paint wise, my dad has a gun and stuff but that's 45 mins away and I was gonna go there to do my headers if I ever get them. But I may have to make a special trip now lol. Well see. I got my elm 327 and torque working and have no idea what anything means. I took a few screenshots at idle but donta know if they're normal or what lol. Trying to research now.Quote:
