Default Q45 retro lights

After all the problems i had with a member named Milad. I contacted Justin at advanced automotive concepts and he really took care of me. Here is one pic of the retro Q45

Looks like HID projector in the highs too. I see 2 ballasts in the background.

Retro looks great. Congrats.

I bought everything from a member named Milad and he ripped me off real bad. I then sent the lights to Justin and he told me they were not worth trying to fix. All the hardware was still good but it was really just thrown together just for the sale. Justin found me some headlights in real good condition and painted it titanium silver and used the Q's and m5 and added the angle eye's. Milad charged me a lot of money because the lights just had the Q's i ask him if he could bring them back to the guy that retro fit the lights and add the m5 high beam for me and ill pay the difference. I paid a lot of money and when i received the lights they looked like something i wouldn't even give away much less sell. One of the Q's had a glow in the dark green ring around it that i didn't see when he sent the pic. If i had just went to Justin at first it would have been a lot cheaper. Not only that the seller lived in Canada so i paid double shipping. And i can't get a hold of him.

We'll wait for the final estimate but it should end up between $1000-$1500, with it being more towards the $1500.

Great list of mods there. I have been contemplating adding some projectors in the high beams to match my retrofit.
