But not being able to do the retrofit myself, i'm not willing to fork over $700-1000 to get it done by someone else.... Stuck between a rock and a hard place.

They're really simple if you've got patience. The actual lighting stuff is all over the place in write-ups, the difficult part for me was taking my time with the painting/assembly. I did my set for around $200-$250 with new headlights for the lenses, new fog light housings, and new fog light bulbs. Link to my writeup is in my sig.

Are those headlights any good? I see a ton of ppl running them and they look nice but how is the projector and the aiming?

I like them. The LEDs are super bright alone. The headlight cutoff is pretty damn good. The actual headlight bulb isn't the world's brightest light, but safer than the HID's I was running in Stock lights. Rumor has it you can remove the headlight socket inside and replace it with a hid setup. I would definitely buy again. Been a few months with no leaks or problems and I pressure wash my truck often
