hehe nope, the 2018 XV base model (which is what I got) comes stock with halogen lamps. The premium variant comes with LED I believe.

Lahat naman ng Properly installed retrofit ay maliwanag sir isa yan sa mga rason bakit ako nag retrofit dahil sa dark tint ng vehicle ko. Suggestion lang, go with either osram or philips hid's dahil dahil tested na mga yan sa lifespan. Sa color temp naman kanya kanyang trip na. Yung iba gusto ng cbi dahil sa 5500k pero sa akin naman useless ang 5000k and above dahil sa probinsya ako nakatira at parati makapal fog and during rain mas gusto ko ang 4800k ng philips xv c1 sa wet asphalt road.
Yung labor po kasama na sa package yun sa babayaran mo pag nagpa retrofit ka. Na check mo na ba ibang mga installer and compare them?

sa ngayon po sir sa HIDRetrofit ang balak ko, kasi mukhang High Quality and Reputation ang shop nila, with samples nang mga nainstallan nila nang mga projectors nila, they show to public what they do, and the quality they do. and lastly tulad po nang sabi niyo maganda philips bulbs,and they use those bulbs in their retrofit. kaya mejo nabili nila attention ko.

although di pa naman ako decided kung sakanila talaga ako kukuha. may idea ka pa ba sir kung saan? yun nga lang po sa province po kayo naka reside di po ba? baka malayo na po ang mga shop na alam niyo. hehe. thanks po sa ideas about sa HL natin!

Wala ako experience sa led bulbs so I cant comment sa lifespan.

DIY mo yan sir?edi stock HL housing pa rin po gamit niyo?

*benten11,
Ako kasi may set budget lang para sa retrofit. Kaya kay paolo (xenon concepts) ako nagpa-install.

Gary's price is plainly too expensive for me. I'm pretty sure their workmanship and materials equates to their pricing.

Bakit 10k lang ang stage 2 ni Xenon Concepts vs 20k for GaryQ?

Do they use the exact same parts? Has anyone done a side by side comparison of their work?

100% price difference is pretty huge.
