Default projectoretrofits (tuxedoblack11)

I apologize in advance if this has already been discussed but I cant seem to find the answer.
does anyone know if Tuxedoblack11 is still doing retrofits? I have been trying to contact him with no response. I also noticed he is on several forums and hasn't posted in awhile. The website is still up so I don't know?
this is probably a bad sign but I would still like to talk about his c-bar lights.
I have heard good things about the quality of his products and he seems to have good prices. On the same note does anyone know of anyone who does OEM Hid lighting? I am not a fan of retrofitting the Halogens.

Thanks

Howdy!

All I can say is, keep tryin'. Lookie like he has taken a hiatus from the retro bidness, ah reckon.

Other sources - Lightwerkz, Sammy (sdatrlp23), or try contacting some of the retrofitters listed on the TRS site.

www.theretrofitsource.com

Good luck

I had a local guy do mine. Prices were good, service was fast and great, always kept in touch. Opened a set of headlights that I thought would be impossible to do without cutting.

My suggestion, research, research and more research. Then do them yourself. Buy all your parts from TRS (The Retrofit Source) and have about $300 into a retrofit with quality, warrantied parts. Or go a little cheaper and get parts from TRS closeout section (quality, although no warranty). I can get everything I need for a retrofit minus sealant for $120 from TRS. I had a member here, dom07 send me the butyl for free since I gave him a good deal on rear blocks.

i dont have hid lights now. i would like to just purchase a set of oem hid with the c-bar added along with the adaptor harness. Turn key is better for me these days v/s DYI. I have considered just getting oem from ford but that is 1400 plus the harness and then i dont get the c-bar or upgraded bulbs/ballasts. What opinion do you have of raptor retrofits? Looks like i can get a set of theirs for 2050.00 plus the harness.
