I am starting a retro as well, just sourcing the parts now and have purchased TSX projectors and alternate headlights so far. Already have a PnP kit.

Best bet is to search every day on different forums till you find a good price for TSX projectors. That is what I did, although I got the best price off ebay for 143 usd shipped. Going to CS or RS will cost you an arm and a leg for tsx projectors. They are getting more rare and the price is going up. Online shops usually push them for 180 usd and up.

but I am slowly starting to buy parts for a retro as well and was wondering what the difference is in the ballast that sell for 200ish and ballast that come in a pnp kit?

correct me if im wrong but the only parts ill need are:

1.projectors
2.shrouds
3. shroud extenders (through custom lights)
4. ballast
5. bulb
8. cut off, washer, mods, etc (through CS)
6.wire harness (seems its not not neccessary, but makes installation super easy)
7. D2S adapater (if i read correctly it seems this is only a nec. if you use your Pnp kit??)

TIA
Good question, I was wondering the same thing.

Just noticed for a washer mod, all you really need are specifically sized washers from a local hardware store. Nothing fancy there.
