Headlight Modification and Restoration

The menu has expanded! In addition to the clear corners and painted inner housings, I am now offering the following:
Projector Retrofits
Integrated HID ballast kits
CCFL "Angel Eyes"
LED backlighting

Prices are as follows


Painted Headlights and Clear Corners

Headlights are separated and the inner bezels are prepped and painted to customer specifications. Paint is applied in a contaminant-free environment and cured using UV lamps. If desired, clear lenses are fabricated to use in place of the amber factory lenses. Lights are cleaned and reassembled with new sealant. Smoothing of bezel available at additional cost.

Paint with clear corners
Customer provided lights - $130
New "aftermarket" lights - from $200
Options
Tinted corners - add $5
Retained amber lenses - subtract $20
Smooth bezels - add $50
CCFL - add $60
LED back lighting (PM for pricing)
Integrated HID ballasts/lamps - add $205
Custom paint colors - $10


HID Projector Retrofits

Projector headlights are not only top of the line when it comes to style, they also provide optimum lighting for low-visibility driving conditions. With this modification, I will install HID projectors in place of the factory lamps. Once properly fitted, they are aligned and permanently mounted with necessary hardware(and sealant or epoxy when deemed necessary). Ballasts are mounted to the back side of the lights(in the grill cutout) and wires are integrated for simple installation. Any additional relays or wiring needed are provided. All additional modifications are completed. Lights are cleaned and reassembled with new sealant.

Projector retrofit
Customer provided lights - from $450
New "aftermarket" lights - from $525
Options
Painted bezels - $25
Clear corner lenses - $20(tint ad $5)
Smoothed and painted bezels - $75
CCFL "Angel Eyes" - $60
LED back lighting (PM for price)
Custom paint colors - $10

Retrofit prices include the Morimoto H1 conversion kit from The Retrofit Source. This includes the projectors, ballasts, lamps, gatlin shrouds, and all needed wiring. Other projector, shroud, and ballast options will be available for the difference in product cost. Ballasts are 35w. Must specify bulb color when ordering.

PRICES DO NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING. CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL SHIPPING CHARGES. QUOTES ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

PREPAYMENT IS REQUIRED VIA PAYPAL FOR ALL ORDERS.

PROJECTOR RETROFITS REQUIRE A DEPOSIT(amount to be determined based on work requested). BALANCE DUE UPON COMPLETION OF LIGHTS, BEFORE THEY ARE SHIPPED BACK

SPECIFIED MANUFACTURER WARRANTY IS HONORED FOR ALL PARTS

MODIFICATIONS HAVE A ONE YEAR WARRANTY. AS ALWAYS, I WILL WORK WITH EACH AND EVERY CUSTOMER TO ENSURE TOTAL SATISFACTION.

LOANER LIGHTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR A $75(REFUNDABLE) CHARGE, IN ADDITION TO ANY EXTRA SHIPPING FEES.


Smoothed and painted mirror covers. Painted to match vehicle color.
$75+shipping

What is LED backlighting? Any pics?

Also, I attempted doing my own headlights this weekend since I have an extra headlight hanging around. Let's just say I'll be putting some money aside and having you do mine soon. Mine would just be white to match the truck, with clear corners, however I have a question about the corners. I still want to have some reflectivity in the corners. I saw another TB once before where they had done this mod but also added reflective vinyl strips on the corner pc inside the headlight that gets painted silver. With silver or white reflective strips they would be invisible during the day but would still make the corners reflective when sitting in the dark. Any options there?

Best example of LED backlighting I can find at the moment:
View attachment 19778

Yes, the reflective vinyl can be added. I could do strips, cover the entire corner reflector, maybe a bowtie or some other logo.

Ok, we are officially an authorized vendor or TRS(theretrofitsource.com) retrofit parts and accessories. Until our site is up, check out theretrofitsource.com for a list of what they have available. After that, message me for ordering info. I will be matching their pricing on all parts, but PM me for special forum discounts.

smooth bezels would be when he paints the gray/black bezel inside the headlights, he can sand them smooth, CCFL is cold-cathode fluorescent lamp, so I believe he can do some form of halo lights, or angel eyes, or whatever you like to call them

Bingo. The smooth bezel is an extra step where the bezels, or trim, is sanded to remove the texture. This makes the paint finish more like the finish on the rest of the vehicle.

CCFL, or cold cathode fluorescent lighting, are the angel eyes that you see on some cars. They are little light rings that usually get mounted to the front of projector lights.

Yea I like the look of the CCFLs, much brighter then the standard halos. I was just curious as to how it would look just the halos, minus the projectors being in there.

I think ConeKilrAutoX has blue halos (dunno if they are CCFL or not) on his Voy with no projectors. He's got some pics in his album if you wanna take a peek.

I personally don't know how they look, as I haven't seen them. As far as night is concerned, the lighting should look killer. Not sure about the rings during the daylight. I do know that you would only be able to see them close up, just not sure how they would look. I do have a set that I am retrofitting right now and they are getting halos. I will take one of the rings and mock it up without the projector to see what it looks like. Would that help you out at all?

Yes that would be helpful! Im very curious to see how they turn out!

also, with true ccfl rings you should have no trouble seeing them even in daylight. a good example in comparison is beamers released around 08 had halos, but you couldnt see them in daylight.

the new beamers have blue/white ccfl, and i can see them in direct sun still. haha

edit: just went and looked up ConeKilrAutoX... what a cool ride, very unique. I do like the halos in his headlights, I dont think it would look quite as cool in the tbs headlight since it isnt as round looking... im excited to see what you come up with smitty! I still have my lights you worked on a year back haha

Standard halos are usually CCFL, unless you get LED halos like some do then they are harder to see during the day. But Halos on BMWs and all are CCFL

Also if you like the halos look and projectors you can always do aftermarket ones like this

**fixed your link**

:drooling: A quad setup with LS430s would be pretty bad ass, after your bank account healed from getting broken so badly! :crazy: Doesn't look like TRS has any of those available in their current stock right now though.

Still sitting on an OEM set. Have been debating whether or not to invest the money in just retrofitting them and hoping that "If you build it, they will come". There is really no structural difference between the TB and Voy lights, from a retrofitters perspective. I guess what I really need is someone to take a leap of faith.

Does that leap of faith come with a discount? Money is tight right now, and I would love a set of HID powered Projectors, assuming that can be done. But as I said.. Money is tight right now for me..
