Default Retro fit headlights

Who has retro fitted their headlights? If so what brand and what's need to do this? I was looking at the retro source but the website is very hard to understand.

I got the retrofit hid kit from The Retrofit Source online: headlight upgrades for all applications and they are amazing. I had cheap kits and you can definitely tell the difference.

I went with Rebel's Hellfire system for $199 and love it. Super easy install and works GREAT! Hard to believe the difference.

I used the FX-r 2.0 projectors plus a 7" spun aluminum disc and a 55watt HID generic/cheapo HID kit. Check my gallery for pics.

I also used the retrofit source. for my land rover, not the jeep. but they are super helpful. call them up and they will answer any questions you have. they helped me pick all the right stuff to do the install. and they will help you through the install itself if you need. a call to them could get you a lot if the info your looking for pretty quickly.

I used the Northridge kit. Easy install, aimed them using Steins directions and now can see at night. I was thinking about hids or projectors, but after reading all the flickring and other issues, went with the highly rated Northridge kit

Where can I find the "Steins directions?" I installed my Truck-Lites today and would like to aim them tonight.
