Default HID retrofit

does anyone know where i can get an HID retrofit for my sc400 in Vancouver area? driving at night is acceptable but sucks since i cant see a mile ahead. was going to try velocity, but i heard they went under, so any shop/anyone that wants to do it would be welcomed.

TIA

any and all shops should be able to get retrofit hids for your car. prices range though, u get what u pay for. prices go from $200 up to 700 bucks.

4300K is the color temp u get if they were oem from the dealer. however most ppl are opting for 6000K these days. 8000+, its just gonna look too blue...

wow 700 is actually affordable, i thought it would cost me an arm and a leg. but would the price be a little less if i have some of the parts? (i have only tsx projectors). i don't want cheap garbage on my lex and i want to do it right. anyways thx for replying...!SG haha

if ur doing the whole tsx projector mod, then it should just use the standard D2S bulb. if thats the case, replacement bulbs are around $120 a pair. however, if ur doing just the projector mod, fabbing it into the housing, or replacing ur stock projectors, then u still need an aftermarket hid retro kit.

I did my 6K HID's for pretty darn cheap here in Coquitlam.
I used my stock projectors and it looks great! Maybe a slight bleed off but no problems with that.
