Current/Active member(s) who make/sell retrofits?

[Bijan]

I have come across SRQ Fab, & 1 member (rickashay) who I PM'd but never got a response from.

Currently seeking to possibly upgrade my lighting situation. Adding projector HIDs is one the most KEY components to making an older vehicle look new. Any input on members who make / sell retrofits would be awesome.

I of course would provide the headlights / housings / projectors and $$$ for labor.

Considering SRQ is charging $660 shipped for the mini h1, their labor must be outrageous. That's a couple hour job using a kit that's ~$200 from TRS, and lights that are ~$80 from Rock Auto.

In fact, if you're doing the h1 retrofit, just do it yourself man. I won't say it's impossible to screw up, but it would be very, very difficult.

I appreciate the shout.

I've done quite a few retrofits over the past couple years. Before this summer I had ONE warranty issue. Ever.

This summer I did a lot of them. A lot, a lot.

For whatever reason, almost every single set had to have at LEAST one part replaced under warranty. Bulbs, ballasts, and igniters have all been replaced within weeks, or even days of the end-user receiving their lights.

Due to this, and TRS not wanting to ship warranty products directly to the end user anymore, I am done.

The biggest issue seems to be with the bulbs. There's a metal band (I imagine it's a ground) around the base that is breaking, or not put together correctly. You'll notice it VERY hard to connect the plug to the bulb, and then it will work intermittently.

Here's an image of a brand new bulb, straight out of the box. Notice how that metal "band" at the base isn't closed...
