You think it might mess the custom ppl up if you send these headlights to them? Im not getting it at customlightz, but just wondering

Im still getting the retrofit done on my headlights I guess, but if it turns out this will come out by this weekend, small chance i might get these instead of using my oem ones, especially if the fitments and wiring is similar or the same

Actually, I'm sure any retroer will be able to use these. In any case, the issue is how nicely these would fit on our cars. I'd think.

So, $189 for TWO headlight housing?
Not each? this is a good price... makes retros that much more affordable *ponders*

I dont know I guess I just cant reason spending close or more than $1,000 on a non OEM headlight. They have to let more slip by with minor imperfections to keep there production rejects lower I would think. Kinda like first and second run tires. It doesnt mean that they cat or arnt qaulity but it leaves more room for error.
