Default FX-R/Mini Retrofits

I am doing HID projector retrofits for first gens. If you don't know what a retrofit is and interested, check here: http://www.hidretrofits.com This site has almost all the information you need.

Some background information:
I was pretty naive and put plug and play HIDS directly into my reflectors when I first started modding the car. I had no idea what the difference between a reflector and a projector was. After my friend introduced me to it, I did my first retrofit last year in 2012 with mini-H1s. The difference in output is literally day and night. With a proper retrofit, you'll have more double the output, distance, and width of HIDS in a reflector. In my opinion, this is one of the best mods.

If you are local, you can bring me your head lights and I can lend you a spare. If you prefer me to use aftermarket (TYC) headlights, that's fine as well. I WILL SHIP.

Two options:
1. FX-R Stage 3 Retrofit = $550
http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...roducts_id=141
2. Morimoto Mini D2S or H1 Stage 3 Retrofit = $480
http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...roducts_id=237
http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...roducts_id=227

The kits will be 100% brand new.

What's the difference?
FX-R are bigger projectors and as a result perform better. I purchase all my parts directly from The Retrofit Source.

Included items:
1. FX-R or Mini Projectors
2. Morimoto 3Five Ballasts (50W ballasts available for extra)
3. Morimoto 3Five Bulbs (4300k, 5000k, 6000k your choice) or OEM Philips 85122+ for extra
4. Wiring Harness (easy plug and play)
5. Shrouds (your choice)

Optional:
1. Aftermarket headlights from Amazon: 168$
2. OEM Headlights from Trdsparks: 300$
3. LED angel eyes (+100$ installed) http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...ducts_id=14906

Some pictures (will include more soon, as I am currently retrofitting a pair):
