Default Retrofit?

I did a search but couldnt find exactly what I need. I am planning on doing a retro MYSELF.

HAve a few questions, anyone know where I can find a complete HOW TO/write up with good instructions on how I should do this.

ALso, I already have an HID kit that I would like to keep which are H13's, would I be able to use this same kit or will the bulb not work with the projector?

Could this be done in a single day or weekend?

Which projector would be the easiest to work with?

What kit is needed to do a retro on the fogs?

Thanks for the help, once I begin I will be posting pictures of this project.

For a complete DIY, I have some videos that I could send ya, also the h13 pnp kit you have now wont fit into a projector needed for your retrofit.

For a simple retro I would go with the mini h1 or mini d2s. They are pretty much a direct bolt in projector and require little modification to the headlight housings.

If you want a more in depth and challenging retro, the FXR or evox-r are top notch.

If you have a full uniterrupted weekend you could pry knock it out!

The kit required for the fog lights are the morimoto matchbox projectors. They are on a backorder as of now and have no eta on when they will ship!
