Default Ls430 projectors for a retrofit

So i've been tossing this whole retrofit idea around for a few months. Finally came to grounds with the fact that it's not gonna be cheap. I know i want to move forward with these projectors coupled with tsx-r lenses... But my question is what is a fair price for just the projectors? I've searched and almost everyone that has answered the price question is very vague. i know a socal member has the ls430 headlights for $500 but local only. I found a site $450 but only if they also do the retrofit. Is this about as low as i'll find ... There r a few stories of those ***** wonka golden tickets getting um next to nothing.

My retrofit is simple and clean... No halo no painting no amber delete i want to focus soley on the projector and a nice shroud set. I'd prefer to do this project myself cause it would mean more... But im impatient so lets be honest i'll prob pay to have it done.

I bought some mint LS430 projectors only from a member here for like $350 or so. They are very popular and the prices remain high. I have seen them as low as like $180 for a pair, but they had been removed already and had some pretty good scratches on the shrouds.

If you just keep watching ebay you can find the complete headlight with cracked lens/broken tabs for cheap sometimes, like $100 each, the inner projector is usually still perfect condition and then remove them yourself.

Seriously a great upgrade, it's worth every penny even if you overpay some..
