Check out your local buy and sell for some 09-13 headlights. You should be able to find a good pair for $100, a great price to not be scarred and hack them up. Remove the clear plastic front, cut them up, and install your choice of projector, and seal back up. There are a bunch of people that said they wouldn't be able to do a retrofit themselves but did some research and it turns out for them.
But I'm still scared to

Just think how I felt not knowing what I was doing or if it would have even worked. When I did my retrofit there was no mention of a FX-R projector in a 04-08 head light. After I seen the output of the FX-R I just knew I would somehow make it work.
WOW that was 3 years ago almost to the day!

I am having a retrofit built for me by Kris Stone at www.hidretrofitlights.com. I bought stock raptor reflector housing off ebay for $248. These are OEM, there were cheaper clones out there for like $120ish. I then paid Kris $629. The $629 covers amber halos, 2 fx-r 3.0 projectors, 50 watt bulbs and 50 ballasts, the wiring kit, shipping and all labor. My lights should be shipped to me mid next week. He has done extensive work for a lot of the previous gen lightnings. he can be reached at info@hidretrofitslights.com. I would also recommend www.raptorretrofit.com. I spoke with Dawson via email on several occasions and he is extremely knowledgeable, and does the best work, I just couldn't afford it. housings alone to do it his way would run $1200, then the upgraded projectors and labor on top of that. Keep in mind that doing it Raptorretrofits way looks closest to stock and will likely not draw as much unwanted attention from the local police.
