Would any one be interested in Retrofit Headlights?
Thinking about doing a retrofit on my stock head lights soon, for resale. I would use all products from The Retrofit Source. Cost alone on the kit is around $330 with Halos. ($50 less without). Anyone have any idea what I could/should sell them for at a fair price and if I would have any trouble selling them?
Or if anyone is in the market for them could PM me, could maybe set up a personalized build plan.

It all depends on the projector, bulbs and ballasts. A lot of people sell them for over $1000.

Depends on if your gonna start producing them I'd say, if only one set them hey get the most ya can for em $1000 seems fair if doing them from a stock hid housing, going from a halogen housing that's your call a little less then that seems fair as well, if your gonna start doing em on the side consistently then your gonna have to compete with a few guys on pricing, that being said the quality of work you produce will hopefully speak for itself.

Yea I'd start out with the halogen housing... I really enjoy doing stuff like this so I'm not out there to make a living off of it so I think I could compete with other guys pricing, although I am not sure what they do for theirs price wise. This is a few pics of my buddys 2012 Camaro I did. Went from stock halogen housing to projectors and LED tubing he picked out.

wait. what?
no offense but there are already a few very reputable retrofitters on here. I think you would have to either sell yours at crackhead prices or produce very high-quality work that sets yours apart, if not both, in order to get business.

The headlights are 5 times the size of that camero and you need to fill up the space, plus why not put a better projector since there is all that room!
ive done the MH1 in my 07f150 (first retro) 600rr street bike and FXRs in my current f150...i wouldnt go with anything less IMO.

None taken, I appreciate the honesty. And that's why I am asking you guys. Not sure if it is worth my time or not. I figure I could maybe do a few local trucks here and there; and since I have my stock headlights there's no risk, just financial investment. I'm thinking price range would be around $600ish? Honestly have no idea what a set would go for. And it would depend on what is in them. I know the Oracle kit that goes around the edge of the headlight is about $200 by its self so that would make the price vary.
