    This project seemed like it took forever but I couldn't be more thrilled with the end results! Thanks to everyone who voted in our poll a few weeks ago, that helped shape what direction we went with the LED's!

    To my knowledge this may be the 1st Challenger retrofit to date. The good news is that we have all the parts in-stock to do plenty more so hopefully it won't be the last either. I can't wait to see how they look in James' Orange Challenger RT.

    This Retro Consists Of:
    - FX-R Projectors
    - E46 Shrouds
    - LED Back-lighting
    - Clear Lens Protection
    - Custom LED Wiring Harness

    Thanks guys. The hardest part is getting these things apart. that's like 8 hours of wrestling & cussing Grrr! The retrofit portion which is usually the hard part was very straight forward. It was a lot of fun but I enjoy a challenge.

    I added some pics of how I sealed up the back. This is usually what sets apart the better retrofitters. Instead of a franken-hacked housing or globs of sealant on the rear, it should look very OEM.
