Default The Retrofit source

any one have any of the lights from theretrofitsource.com? I just ordered a set of sealed7 housing and an hid kit from them to replace my fogged up crappy factory lights. Planning on painting the shrouds black and doing an evil eye set up on them.

They are the best in the business and one if the first of retrofitting. Mine are made from their products. I'm using factory housing though. Their kit they have makes it super easy.

Right. I meant their 7" housing kit that you are getting makes it super easy. I'm thinking of building another set though.

If I didn't already have Truck-Lite headlights / fogs I'd be doing this 100%

I had a set of their Morimoto HIDs in my last car and I loved them...

You will be happy.

The last I checked their xb35 bulb had just as much output or more than the 180+ dollar bulbs. So settle with those. The uv output is a little higher, but the md2s3.0 is built like a tank. Awesome output on the sealed 7s. Let me know if you run into any issues of any kind. I had a few problems myself, but worked through them all. I'm running the sealed 7, 50w ballasts, osram cbi, and the mopar specific harness.

I went with the 3five bulbs and ballast because the xb35's were on back order. I will more than likely change bulbs and ballasts in the future because this isn't exactly what I wanted, but I need to do something about my headlights, they are horrible on any back road where theres no street lights. I went with Apollo 2 shrouds and im going to keep the inside all black, I haven't decided between flat or gloss though, also got the led rings and am going to do an evil eye look on them.

Did they have the 5five setup available?
