OK so i've hated how poorly my 03 cobra lights up the road at night. I've owned many cars with projector headlights and I just couldn't drive another car without them.

So...after seeing lots of pictures of a member on here with the handle Yuke175 who does custom retrofits...I hit him up about doing a set for my car. He was very easy to deal with and very professional. He showed me some options and extra touches that he can do for me and in the end i opted for some smoked housings. I won't post the price i paid but I will say that his prices were VERY reasonable. Especially for something that I feel will make my nighttime driving much safer. So I sent him a set of new headlights and he did the rest.

I also want to add that Chris is an outstanding guy and his customer service is TOP NOTCH. He sent me text messages throughout the entire process with updates on his progress. He also let me know when it was shipped out and provided me with a tracking number. FedEx even damaged my headlights in shipment and he went the extra mile to take them back and redo another set for me.

I don't have very many pics because it's dark outside and I just finished installing and aiming them earlier this evening but get the idea. Overall, I'm more than satisfied with my headlights and I totally recommend Chris to anyone who is looking for some retrofit work.

those look pretty damn bright, get ready to have ppl flashing you all day and night. mine are just as bright, at least 3 ppl a day will try to blind me with their high beams, so I just turn my highbeams on and blind them twice as much lol.

Actually, he wont. A proper HID projector retrofit will aim the light where is should be, not just simulate a bright light like pointless "hid" bulbs. The output is similar to what you see on high end bmws, audis, inifiniti, etc...

Some daytime pics for those who wanted to see how they look. I love them!

I'll take some pics of the cutoff later on this evening when its dark outside. I think i found the perfect spot to show off the beams cutoff.

I really like those.

They not only produce a perfect cut off pattern but they look almost completely stock.

Even thought the chrome "Gattling Gun" surrounds look nice, I think they draw too much attention to the headlights. Your blacked out housings look perfect.

Another great job yuke175

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words, let me know if I can hook you up with your own set.

Chris is about to start working on a set for my daily driver. I'm excited to see the progress and get them later on. I totaled my prior DD because thanks to one of the many deer near my house. I think some HID headlights should prevent this from happening again.

I took some night time pics for those who were interested in seeing the cutoff. One of the best mods ive done so far...I can now see more than 10 ft on front of my car at night.

Sounds like you're another PnP HID fanboy :bored:
