Halogen Headlight Retrofit

So I've been talking to OSS Designs and they quoted me $1,200 for projector retrofit, HID, and M4 style acrylic angel eyes. This a fair deal? By the way I'm concerned about my headlights because they are stock 2016 halogen reflectors and I am not sure... Can they retrofit the reflectors into projectors? I'm pretty confused how all this works. Any advice/opinions would be greatly appreciated.

There are a few forums on this already as I have been looking for this as well. OSS is the best and if you follow them on Instagram you can see they have already done this on a 2 series. Looks great IMO. I am just waiting for a company to make them similar to what One eighty or Umnitza is offering currently for the 3 and 4 series crowds.

So do you think the pricing is fair? Can they even turn reflector headlights into projectors?

I believe the price they gave you were for HID bulbs and halos. Retrofitting projectors would be a massive job and more expensive than 1200 bucks I believe. Could be wrong tho.

So it's not going to blind people? I thought you had to have projectors, so your headlights won't look terrible.
Will the reflectors not cause them to go crazy? I don't wanna look really ricey

I think the product OSS make look good. Not quite OEM, but better than just halogen without the halos. Wish I got the xenons too but oh well.

Ya, I still wonder if they can put some projectors in there though. I would pay for the xenon housing if the fitments were confirmed

That would require $$$ may be better off buying a set of OEM zenons. 3 series forum has a couple of threads with brave souls tackling this

Ya, they have a lot of options as well. If anyone is interested Let me know and I can send you what they sent me. I know it can be difficult to reach them. They also offer a bit of a discount for a group buy of 5 orders if anyone is interested.
