Can't wait to see the finished product. I saw a post on hid planet where a honda fit used the same projectors and mounted the ballasts to the back of the headlight. It looked really OEM.

Once I see your finished product I will probably be sold on this type of Retro fit and start saving money to get it done

Wow!! That looks awesome! I love the way you painted the frame gray. Makes me want to crack mine open again.

Just because I'm curious...how much would a fairly tame retrofit be? Bulbs and everything included, nothing else done to the housing itself?

And because I'm even more curious...how much if you were to paint almost the entire housing and shrouds black? (is that even possible)?

Not my retrofit. My lights will be black.

LS460s of this generation have clear shrouds. Newer LS (pre-LED) have chrome shrouds

Unfortunately not. We're using these projectors for a show car that needs to be finished in a few weeks.

Re-doing my retrofit this weekend! Going to FX-R 3.0 with Taffeta White shrouds, flat black reflector bowls, and the new MotoControl harness with a black box instead of the default gold.

The black housing looks good. Not sure about the shroud though.
