Projector Retrofit with Halos Quote

I'm planning on doing a retrofit with halos, and received the following quote from a local shop:

- OEM Replacement headlights w/ Bi-Xenon Projectors (it's my daily driver, so I can't send in my current headlights)
- Matte Black housing
- Matte Black projector shrouds
- White LED Halos
- HID KIT with integrated harness

They can do the project for $875. Does this sound like an accurate cost to you guys?

Thanks everyone!

Need some clarification - are they just building the lights for you? Installing them when you come in?
I spent about that much money for the parts for my planned retrofit, but it was color shifting halos, and also halos for my fogs. So if you're paying that and will have retrofitted lights in your car afterwards, I'd say yes, that's a good price

They are only building the lights, not installing them when I pick them up. I've been doing a decent amount of reading on the install, but I'm definitely a newbie when it comes to swapping out the old headlights with the new ones. They don't do installs at all, so if I wanted to have someone else do it, I'd have to find another shop.

Yeah, it looks like they are going to make it as plug and play as possible.

Do you realize that you can save a considerable amount of money by going to gen5diy and getting his kit? And you'll have OEM RS lights and his harness is 100% P-n-P

For a complete, in one box kit, Gen5diy can't be beat. Plus, if you have installation questions, he's there for you.

That's not a bad price for a second set of built lights. Just be aware that you'll still have a good bit of work to do if you go that route
