i heard retro fitting them was pretty hard but ill probably give it a shot.


You can always have them retrofitted by someone more experienced like I did.  I didn't have the time or patience to do it myself.

Doesn't Ken do retrofits for ECM members? I remember he did a couple of retrofits for some people. I'll let him chime in on that though.

I'd suggest going with Ken or Chris.  Greg did good work but took a VERY long time to finish mine.

So let's say you don't want a retro fit, what are the best replacement headlights to get. I would like black housed ones that are OEM quality. If not I'll buy OEM and black them out my self again.

I think the most common aftermarket blackhoused headlights are the Depo ones.  I've never owned a set, so I'm not sure how well they hold up.

I bought a year ago a pair of spyder auto black houssing headlights (HD-JH-HA03-AM-BK) They look very nice, well sealed and after a winter in canada the clear coat hasn't fade off yet. highly recommend them !
