Default HID Retrofit anyone????

I'm looking into doing a retrofit using either TSX or S2000 projectors into my Kouki 240sx. Anyone have any experience doing this or know someone in the Tampa area who does? I'd like to get this done by someone who knows what they're doing. Help me out guys!

do it yourself, there are ALOT of write ups on how to do it. The hard part about it is fitting the projector into your housing. The rest is cake, mount the ballast, buy a premade wiring harness for like 30 bucks, plug in and your good to go. I'm doing a retrofit right now with tsx projectors, almost done. Good luck, Peace.

I would like to do it myself but I'm trying to go about it as cheaply as possible and don't know if I want to risk F'ing up my headlights...there's a strong chance I'd screw it up so I figured if there is someone who has done it here before and knows what they're doing I'd rather give it to them to get it done as quick as possible.

You have a S13, which makes it easier.

wow, its definitely not gonna be cheap if you want REAL hid's with real hid lighting. You can buy a cheap kit and blind the hell out of everyone, but if you wanna save money and do it the right way, do it yourself because people are charging like 800 bucks to do retrofits (really nice, btw). Mine is gonna come out to about $300 but i will have AWESOME lighting with sharp cutoff, no blinding anyone. What yr 240?
