Default Headlight Installations + Retrofits + electrical

Hi, im in west los angeles, and i am searching for a tech that can do the following:

1. Open Headlight housing and install angel eyes and play with the wires to make the LED angel eyes on whenever the car is running even with headlights on

2. Open foglight housing and install led angel eyes + retrofit projector lense HIDs. (and the same thing goes with the LED angel eyes as the headlights).

I have all the actually parts, i MAY be missing a wire. If anyone has a recommendation im all ears. Looking for someone who is professional, done this thing before. and is reasonably close. thhanks guys!

this is my review of JLC. JLC did the retro headlights in my GS4. I was happy in the beggining, thought they were a decent price at first, due to the amount of work they were going to do but I would not recommend them. Bad customer service, once they were paid it was hard to get a call back and my headlights are foggy and I have to have them resealed, after all this I do think they are overpriced. Since I have to have them redone I would most likely go with Republic even if it is a 90 min commute each way for me.

Had my retro done by Essential Lites.

Very reasonable pricing, great work and great customer service. Should be a pretty easy decision once you see the examples of his work.

I guess it depends on who's doing the retrofit for you.
Most retrofitters should allow you to supply your own projectors. Some retrofitters will supply the projectors for you. Doesn't make too much of a difference though.
