New Headlights

In the market for new headlights for a 2013 G37xS. I've looked into the retrofit store (minimal options for shops that are associated with retrofit in Massachusetts but still doable). Thinking about Halo's, does anyone know of a reputable website/shop that would sell these and a reputable shop that would install. Also, wondering what the price would be for install? Also open to other ideas instead of halo's if anyone has had better experiences?

Thank you.

theretrofitsource.com is a great website for halos and any headlight parts! Morimoto xb halos is a great choice which I have on my sedan. Pricing varies for labor I know my headlight guru is in Ohio and does a excellent job! I shipped it to him so if you want pm me for for more info

After dealing with morimoto (distribute is retrofit source), V-LEDs, and Diode Dynamics, I'd have to put my confidence the most in Diode Dynamics for quality LED's, warranty, and the customer service to back it up. However, V-LEDS Triton V3 is still king for switchbacks LED turn signals.

For halos, there has been comparisons on a facebook group I follow, and the diode dynamics HD halos are brighter and more reliable than Morimoto's offering.

INteresting stuff MaQG37, cause all I heard was Retro fit was the go to and I actually just replaced my fog lights to the Cool White XML2 from Diode Dynamics and overall I am very happy with these. The brightness is night and day (literally) to the stock. I will look into Diode for the halos, but I have found that you need to go to a specific shop with an oven for it to work, is this true?

Try Headlight Junkies (among others)... That should get you started.

Diode Dynamics is also releasing a VLED Triton competitor sometime in January (if it doesn't get delayed), expected to cost around $60.

Thank you.
If you are looking to "add" features to your headlights; halos, demon eyes, Iron Man, Panamera, etc. there are two "local" options, one is in RI the other in Attleboro.

so i ended up painting my lights and going with a few after market lights (phillips, V-led's) etc. The place I used was very helpful, but their customer service (Toy Motorsports) is very flaky to the point where 7 emails have been sent and spotty responses received. Recently, I noticed the lights have been dimmed/out and I doubt their shelf life is less than a year, so probably loose wiring. Also noticed moisture in there.

Does anyone know a place in Massachusetts that would open them up and fix the moisture/light for me?
