Go thorough this thread. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...hlight=install I hated to hear the bad experience that dme had as well. Sounds like he definately got the run around and adding all the halos and fog lights might have contributed to the issues but still there is no real excuse why he couldn't have gotten his stuff done right the first time. You know that AAC has a Houston location now. They do retrofits as well using Morimoto products. Be prepared to pay but that might be a option if you want someone else to do the work. You can still talk to TRS and see if they would setup the projectors in the housings. Then you could take it from there. I was only charged $150 + shipping for TRS to setup my projectors in thier housings but I didn't have halos done either. That definately throws more work into the issue.

Do not go to AAC. They will hack your housings up. If anything go to TRS.

Caverman (I feel weird calling you by username), but you confused me on linking me to your HID install. Correct me if I am wrong, but you installed a HID kit from AAC, then after that you went to TRS and installed the H1 kit. Wouldn't you just need to replace the Halogen bulb and place in the projector? I do believe you don't need HID to add to the retrofit. Correct me if I am wrong. But I was just asking on your retrofit install, not your HID.

About a year later I learned about doing an HID projector retrofit. I contacted TRS and bought the projectors, shrouds, and bulbs from them. I sent them a set of used Halogen headlights I bought off the forum and had them open those up, install the projector and bulbs, align everything and then send those back to me. Cost me $150 for the install but I didn't do halos or anything like that....just a basic retrofit. I didn't need to pay for the H1 kit from TRS because I basically had that from my Oracle H1 kit I had already installed. The link I probably sent you was from my original H1 bulb kit install that I did. If I remember you were worried about doing the H1 kit because it was dealing with the electrical. I wanted to show you it's easy and all plug-n-play.

I handmade headlight housings back in 09' when I did my el camaro nose conversions, there were no used setups available then.I'll eventually get a set &combine what I like in mine with a stock housing & projectors used in this thread.
I used a junkyard sylvania glass projector & silverstar bulbs. My lexan lenses are 1/2" thick, not very good light output at all. For around the projector I turned a piece of black uhmv plastic on a lathe. Made 6" halo rings from 3/4" acrylic tubes & cut marks in back, no bulbs installed yet. My goal was for them to look more like a big eyeball staring you down, which I think I accomplished. |
