Default Scion tC HID Retrofit

I am looking for someone in the Albany, NY area to do a retrofit for me. I have a 2006 Scion tC. Let me know if anyone is in the area, then we can discuss details. Thanks!

You can look for LittoDevil or LittoDemon (I forgot) in HID Planet. He is in Cali but he does the best and cleanest retros I seen. You can just ship him the spare headlights and all the materials and he does the work, or... he can sell you the parts some parts for the retrofit. I can tell you right now his work isn't cheap, he charges 550 or more for LABOR ONLY!

I agree with both of them, HIDplanet has everything you need.

You can probably find them much easier than E46 BiXenon Shrouds. Check out the BimmerForums.

Yea I couldn't fit my bixenon shrouds in there, so I just made my own using pieces of pipes.

Yep. Home depot. I think they were ABS plastic.

550 ??? For Labor ??? Just do your own retrofit. The main ingredient is confidence. Good luck
