    LightWerkz Killed It!

    Hi All,

    I wanted to share the results of my xenon headlight retrofit performed by LightWerkz. I've been dealing with dim headlights for quite some time now. I tried rectifying the problem by swapping out the bulbs twice to no avail...I then turned to ZHPmafia.com and discovered the ZKW burnout problem which rings true for my case as shown below



    After careful consideration I decided I didn't want to try the couple of DIY fixes that others have tried because I don't have the workspace or time or patience to find the right parts. Obviously I don't want to buy brand new headlights either, too expensive. Since my car was in the body shop for repairs due to a minor parking lot collision I asked the body shop to pull the lights out for me (labor charge) so I could mail them to LightWerkz for a retro fit.

    I emailed LightWerkz for an estimate, Caesar was super quick to give me one and did an awesome job getting the FX-R Bixenon Projectors installed and shipped back. It was a pleasure working with LightWerkz and the cost was really reasonable.

    Results: I'm completely satisfied with the retrofit...let there be LIGHT!

    Depending on shipping times (LightWerkz is in NJ) and their current project workload, it only took them 2 days for me. I recommend giving them a heads up that your headlights are coming and verifying with them on the turn around time. The shipping times is the majority of the wait.

    Lightwerkz is a really good company to work with. I've sent a couple feeler quotes and without delay Cesar responded as if I already sent money for the bill, answering any question I had in full, detailed responses.

    Glad you're happy.
