I can see the price tag of this being somewhere from $600 - $800.

I'm planning on doing my first retro when I can afford it:

- OEM 6th gen housings blackhoused
- Infiniti G35 Bi-Xenon projectors
- LED amber strip/turn signals
- Custom shrouds (or MDX)
- Using my current ballasts with some new D2S 6000K bulbs...

Very nice, as more and more people get into the retrofiting thing,prices will drop on shrouds and projectors. Cant wait to see the end result.

The guy I bought the projectors from was kinda just a random person on there. Not like a reseller.
