Just got my headlights from
smeister

BIG THUMBS UP

 

it seems like he does really great work.

you went with a 55w? what bulbs and ballasts are you using?

and a big thumbs up for not being a PnP user!

 

im using morimoto 55w. I almost went the PNP route until I read that one posting about the pro's and cons with retros ..

 

Dude I asked him if he could do mine but he said he hasn't done it to our fits and he was to busy to do so! I want mine done!!!!!!!!! What was the damage if u don't mind me askin? Pm if u want to let me know !!!!!! But imma email him to see if he can do mine ! What was the turn around on getting them done and how happy are u with the difference ?

 

Also do u have any pics of the output?

 

no pics of output yet.....I am the first one GE. I bought the car two weeks ago and haven't drove it yet because I took the headlights off. Other then refotting his full time job is photography, but he will make time when he is available. Shoot him a PM. It looks very clean, I was concerned if it fog up but he guaranteed me that if it does he will fix. I was good with that =)

 

he's right on time..because the date I bought my car he gave me two weeks is when he was available. LOL..so I was driving with my headlights in my trunk for two weeks until the date proposed LMFAO...

 

your not the first GE with a retro, if thats what you mean, but you may be the first orange GE??

Anyways I'm looking forward to how the output will look compared to 35W D2S and H1 minis. This is something that i will do in the future for sure! looks good!

 

well we are NOT the first GEs with the retrofit. there have been a few others before us. that's why i took the project on myself a little while ago.

 

junkie, i'm working on a mini H1 projector right now. i'm going to compare that with my current mini D2S setup and will keep the one i like more. i'm sure i'll be looking to sell the setup i don't keep. it'll probably be about a month until i know for sure which one i'm keeping.

 

Damn! Sounds good depending on what imma do and where and when I can get mine done! I usuAlly do everything myself but when it comes to headlights and taken them apart and putting them together , I don't even want to try. But keep me posted on ur install and decision

 

Nice nice...glad you like them man. I'll post some photos of the "install" when I get a chance.

jdmjunkie561 pm me and I can help you out man

 

Im the first GE that Smiester worked on to clarify.

 

cool. i'll be awaiting the output pics. i'd love to see what 55w can do for the mini D2S. what color temp. did you go with for the bulbs?
