LS w/ HID Projector retrofit

Had a local retorofitter install FX45R Bixenon projectors and Porsche Cayenne shrouds. I'll add pics of light output comparison later. I still have to go through the process of aiming them correctly tonight. I can see the cutoff in my garage and it's it's a million times crisper than the OEM HID.
Excuse the filthy car it's been raining for 4 days here.

No worries. I knew as well.
I was even considering giving instructions on how to apply such a finish.

Hello Schnitz,

How much did it cost to do the retrofit?

I am in Vancouver, but if there is someone that can do a good retrofit, I wouldnt mind sending m headlights and projectors and getting the work done.

Thanks.

I paid a local guy to do the retrofit. Check out HIDplanet.com & the retrofit source.
