Advice on Headlamp Replacements

[swirvin21]

I wish I knew my budget <sigh> seems like every little thing throws off the whole tower. Nothing like having a pregnant wife while trying to move and sell a house....ugh!

My 2nd gen was in a wreck and the plastic mounting housing is broken on the driver side at minimum, haven't pulled things apart for fear of humpty not being put together again!

Both of them are currently in TX in semi-storage since the '03 needs the flat bed finished and the trans fixed, while the 2nd gen is just plain broke. I'd be very interested in knowing what my options are. I'd definitely prefer to support you than some chinese company, so give me some ideas and we can go from there.

We start our paintjobs at $235. That includes labor, shipping in the lower 48 and a real paint job....no rattle can bombin' here.

I hear ya man, setting the $$ for mods can be fun! I'll ballpark it......

Basically, our 2nd gens start at 560. 02-05s are $600. At those prices, they aren't painted, but we can start with a blacked out version of the lights. Each would include projectors and mini shrouds, HIDs, labor and shipping in the lower 48. Total swapover from stock to pure HID goodness

I'm very interested in doing the swap to HID on the '03 since it's going to be our tow rig for hauling our expensive horses, well worth the extra light! I'm trying to think of how to afford that right now, but my question would be whether or not the fogging would come back on the lamps?

I may also be interested in having my wife's '07 Yukon done....maybe you have a package deal for multiple vehicles? Or I can collect a good number of headlamp cores for you, even just parts. My connections with body shops could net a good a good supply of internal parts to every make/model, HID, Xenon, etc if that's something you'd be willing to work with me on.
