Planning on getting an HID retrofit

**sirkosero** · April 13th, 2017 02:40 PM

Eto pala yung breakdown ng parts from xenon concepts.

NHK projector Q5
NHK harness
Hi-Arc ballast
Hi-Arc bulb

I saw the ballast and bulbs in lazada from a local seller. Di naman kamahalan.

I guess if xenon concepts buy in bulk, sobra mas mura nila makukuha. Kaya mas may profit margin sila.

Ano kaya mga gamit nila hid retrofit?

Anybody tried/heard of RetroTech Projector Retrofits by Redline Auto Works?

Yup. Had my Mazda 3 retrofitted there. Ok naman gawa. Pricey though at 20k for stage 2 retrofit.

Xenon Concepts at 10k for the same materials and quality of work is much better value.

Ah so they use the same parts/materials? Xenon is much better value nga.

Although I recommended Xenon Concepts for a friend due to budgets constraints, parang pakiramdam ko iba parin gawa nila GaryQ/Retrotech.

Yung kay Xenon kasi naka 2 backjobs na kami due to moisture inside the headlights. And pakiramdam ko "mas cleaner" yung bato ng ilaw nila GaryQ/Retrotech.

Just my 2 cents

Gary Qs work quality is over rated ... his people are not that competent ...

Care to expound?

Para malaman namin kung saan pinaka-ok magpagawa since hindi biro yung gagawin ng retrofitters..

I'm also interested where this is coming from.

Hmmm.... ano kaya ang first hand experience ni walter kay garyq.

I know of a few people who had their retrofit at gary's place. Wala maman reklamo.

I had mine done sa xenon concepts. Leap of faith but i think, so far worth the jump

Had a Stage 2 kit from HIDRetrofits installed on a Tucson way back in 2013. No issues to date. I have to agree that they were expensive (paid something like 22-24k) but I concede that the work done was top notch. They were a class of their own back then.

But it's already 2017. After four years, you'd think they've figured out how to streamline the process so it will cost less. Or maybe optimize their supply chain so they still get the same quality parts at a lower cost. But apparently, they decided to keep their prices pretty much the same throughout the past years.
