Any shops in the GTA that do headlight modifications ?

Well, I've been looking around and I can't seem to find any shops around the GTA that do headlight modification, examples: painting housings, retrofitting projectors, etc.

I was looking into all the DIYs that are here on opening up the headlights and what not but quite blatantly I don't trust myself to do that.

Anyone know any shops or people that would do such tasks ?

I have not tried this guy but there is this guy named Johnny. He advertises on Kijiji. His business is WiredRidez. I've seen his work twice in person and it looked like it was pretty good.

You can also contact this guy and see if he is in Ontario right now

I know Norb @ Carbox has done a few retrofits before if you really want to go to an actual shop. His work looked very clean as well.

Oh nice thanks a lot ! I personally would be a slight bit skeptical about the kijiji ad as I really just trust actual shops or full on finished websites.. but that's just me being stereotypical I guess lol.

I think I may just send carbox a message and see what they could do. Thank you so much though !

Norb is a good guy to deal with, haven't seen his headlight work but he did a great job on my tint.

Most of the best retrofitters are hobbyists. The shop retrofitters might not be as good as they usually do many other things in the shop.

There are a few well known shops that only do retrofits. I've had experience with Ceasar @ Lightwerkz.

I tried calling the shop and I didn't get an answer.. I also tried sending a facebook message and again didn't get an answer .. should I perhaps do a walk in ?

True ... I haven't really ever got any headlight work at all from anyone in the past with my previous vehicles so I'm pretty much completely new to this game sadly

Most shops are uber busy this time of the year. Try calling again. If that doesn't work drop by.

It's a cool shop

Norbs shop is in the same house as Option JDM and Defcon.

You can order your JDM 86 parts and get them installed and have your headlights done at the same place
