I've done quite a bit of retrofit projects in my spare time and I'm looking to move to the next level by trying to retrofit quality projectors (ones better than the BRZ/GT86) to our headlights. I'm looking at FX-R's or TL's.

Problem? I no longer have a spare set of headlights to use, I can't afford downtime with my daily driver, and I'm in a bit of financial crisis. So, if you have a spare set of headlights, say from switching to the GT86 ones, I'll retrofit your spares for free, if you'll ship me the headlights and pay for the retrofit materials needed. All I want is the experience and technique to do this, and I believe I'm more than halfway there already.

What can you get from this? Labor-free retrofit. Heck, I'll even paint the inner assembly of your headlights if you want, while we're at it.

I'm in the SoCal/LA area, so meetups are preferred, unless you're willing to ship your items here at your cost.

PS: All those headlights in the website were already sold.

How long would it take? Mine is my DD but I'm going on a week long cruise soon and could do this. I would have to do fast shipping but that's fine. Let me know!

I would say two weeks at minimum depending on what you want installed..

I have a full-time job, that's why. This is just a hobby.

UPDATE: I got hold of a spare set of headlights, and this offer still stands. Anyone wants to get their headlights retrofitted labor-free?

I've been trying to find the thread where one of our forum members in Las Vegas did headlight retrofit quad halo, bi-xenon DRL/High beam job for a girl that had a white FR-S.

I might be interested in your services if I can find out what components he got for her! (Still doing research)

Yeah, I remember that thread. Those are Mini H1's + Morimoto Matchbox if I'm not mistaken. Or it could be the Blazers. Anyway, either the Matchbox or Blazers should fit fine on the high beam reflectors.

Let me see what I can dig up!

kanundrum · 10-17-2013, 11:31 PM

Amir_joon · 10-23-2013, 03:10 AM

Stevie86 · 03-27-2014, 12:34 PM
