Default 93 Gs 300 Hid Kit/retrofit

OK, here's the deal. I talked to Jess several times, but he seems like a busy man. I'm in Iraq and have 2 months left before I get home.

I would like to have HID's before I get back!

Honestly, I don't care whether it's a retrofit, conversion, whatever. I have NO desire to learn about them, I JUST simply want to buy the things, lol.

Is there anyone on this board, or does anyone KNOW anybody that I can sent my headlights to, for a SEMI-reasonable price and get them back as HID's?

If not, will ANY conversion kit be acceptable, as long as it's 41K-6K and has decent bulbs?

By the looks of your headlights, It doesn't look too hard to retrofit some xenon projectors. Basically just replacing the halogen projectors.

OK, well, I was forced to learn more than I wanted to know, so I guess I'd prefer a kit similair to the Xenon Depot, or a full retrofit. Something with qulity components (Phillips)......

Cool

I have retrofitted my lights twice, I have a 94 gs my first setup was with rs6 projectors and now Ive done them with tsx projectorsand custom clear lenses that tiguy made for me out of lexan. Dont do the kit you wont get the spread ,flicker or foreground lighting that you would get with a retro our housings are beautiful in design but poor in function

There you have it lol! Feel free to chose which path to go on. With my bias obviously I'd steer you to HID retrofit as I and several thousand people across the globe have done as a result of not being satisfied with HID kit quality light vs that Porshe or Honda S2000 that drives up next to you in trafffic at night and suddely reminds you that your light output isn't on the same level as his (quality wise). Talk with Mike (Smuv_GS) for details about his 1st gen GS300 clear lense swap/Acura retrofit we did a month ago. He did the inner work and I did the outter. Either way its beautiful and you would die if you saw his car in person!

Well, I think I'd PREFER a retro, but I can't do it myself, and Jess is SLOW to respond, so if ANYONE wants to make some $$, shoafma@cemnf-wiraq.usmc.mil
