Lightwerkz

I have tried using ebay kits, other vendors and when it comes to it, Caesar knows best. Setting up the install went smoothly, timing was flexible even during holiday times. He was honest, professional, and timely. The install facility is clean and the he did a very clean install on our 2016 4runner. I will be bringing my other truck to him as well, I highly recommend his work!

The work was ABSOLUTELY EXCEPTIONAL!!!
Results for the Quad Project Retrofits done to Accord Coupe, were mind blowing. Far exceeds any and all expectations I had.
Caesar and his team at Lightwerkz are professional who stand by their work.
Work speaks for itself. Best in the world at what they do.

I purchased a set of Morimoto Sealed7 headlights from Lightwerkz for my Jeep Wrangler because the stock headlights were just plain horrible. During this whole transaction process I dealt with Caesar Rowinski who was extremely professional and knowledgeable. I explained to him how I wanted the projector shrouds to match the color of my Jeep and he executed the task flawlessly. I couldn’t be happier with the way everything turned out, driving at night is now a much more pleasurable experience. I am so glad I pulled the trigger and dealt with Lightwerkz instead of some other shop. They are true professionals and I will only deal with them when it comes to my lighting needs.

Maybe I was a little harsh on Lightwerkz. The issues are true but, I can understand that communication can get a little lost in understanding at times. Like I said, it might have been one of those days. I received mail from Ceaser president of Lightwerkz being dismayed about me being so unhappy and was more then willing to repair any work of theirs even after all these years. That was nice but, I’ve already bought new projectors etc from a local outlet and having it done here close to home where any issues can be taken care of quickly. I’m sure with all the good reviews that they do excellent work most of the time.

I came to lightwerkz to get my 2011 Sierra Denali headlights retrofitted with FXR projectors and paint matched to my white diamond tricoat paint. He did a great job matching the paint which is tough on a tricoat. The lights have amazing focus and output and best of all leak free, no moisture! I will def. be coming back with my other cars and my future vehicles!

Exceptional service and work! I contacted Lightwerkz because i was interested in getting my factory projectors (2006 Subaru Legacy) replaced with actual HID projectors, bulbs, and ballasts. Caesar was my contact at Lightwerkz, and he answered my questions, and presented all of my options to me, to help decide which route to take. At this point i was very comfortable with the information given, and felt the company was very knowledgeable in their trade/​craft. So i went ahead and got the Maxima projectors with clear lens, with Denso Ballasts, and Philips D2S bulbs kit. I had brand new pair of headlights shipped to Lightwerkz, and they begun the work immediately. Caesar kept me up to date on the progress with photos, to keep me excited. Once they were completed, they were shipped out to me and arrived quickly.
First Impression/​Unboxing:
The headlights looked completely FACTORY. HID bulbs were pre-​installed, as well as the other custom harness made specifically to «Plug and Play» into my car. Then onto the HID components. These were OEM authentic parts, as stated, and also included a heavy duty wire harness, which requires (1) power connection to battery, and (2) grounds. Left and Right side.
Installation/​Hardware:
As already stated everything was pre-​installed/​wired. All i had to do, was mount the ballast at my desired location, install the heavy duty wire harness, and plug everything into its proper connector. This was literally a «Plug and Play» installation. Only thing i went and got was extremely long zip ties to mount the ballasts. Other than that, you should not have to make a trip to the any hardware store.
Light Output (THE GOOD STUFF):
And my most favorite part. Firing up the HID’s for the first time, against a wall and seeing that beautiful sharp cut off line, with crisp colors at the cutoff. I was drooling. Adjustment and fine tuning took me about 3 drives until i got the right height, without blinding anyone.
Overall Experience: ⁵⁄₅
Its been about 5 months, since i had installed these, and I would continue to do business with this company in a heartbeat. Talk about actually getting your moneys worth, and a lot of bang for your buck. The customer service and communication is excellent, the craftsmanship and parts used were all TOP NOTCH. I could not be happier with this company and its service.

Professional. Best Service Ever. Ask yourself if you have ever felt good paying for services? Chances are if you answered, «No» then you never had a pleasant experience where the customer service was great.
IMHO, Most businesses do not take heed to one of the most important factors of a business and that is with CUSTOMER SERVICE. Not here… Caesar, the owner, and this business are TOP NOTCH.
He was able to accommodate all of my requests. He solved and helped me achieve all of my specific lighting goals for my vehicle. His prices were reasonable and I am very happy with the service. As an authorized MORIMOTO installer, you cannot go wrong with this shop.
I have been to so many shops in my years and have to tell you that this shop is a GEM! You will not be disappointed.

I had my headlights shipped from California to this shop in 2009 for a retrofit on my 1997 Toyota Supra. Their work is absolutely flawless, and I was very impressed with my headlights.
I will definitely continue doing business with you. :)
Thank you, Lightwerkz!

I own a blue 2009 BMW 328i that came stock with halogen headlights which had terrible light output and compared to newer BMW’s they definitely were starting to make the car look old. I had Lightwerkz perform a xenon headlight retrofit with LED angel eyes, paint some accent parts on the headlight and install LED turn signals, fog lights and side markers. The end result completely blew me away. Caesar has an amazing attention to detail. When on, the headlights look at least as good as the newer BMW’s, maybe even better… plus, the light output is awesome. When off, the setup looks like my car came with xenon headlights OEM, including the areas that were painted.
Caesar was great to deal with — very professional. We emailed back and forth quite a few times to iron out the details of what I wanted to have done. All my questions and concerns were answered promptly by Caesar. After meeting him in person I came to realize he’s a really nice guy as well.
There’s a reason why many people within the BMW community know him as being one of the best in the business. My entire experience with Lightwerkz exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend Lightwerkz to anyone considering doing any modifications to their headlights.

A did a conversion a little over 5 years ago and boy was it the most difficult and expensive thing I’ve ever done. I decided I was no longer going to try and did a quick search online hoping there was a service somewhere did this professional and Lightwerkz came up. It was the best google search I’ve ever done. The crew here are professionals and pay really close attention to detail. I’ve had two conversions done and was expecting a mediocre at best result the first time and I was dead wrong. The quality of work looks OEM quality… even better than that. Communication is top notch and work is the best ever. You may find other cheaper places that do this type of work but you pay for what you get. The price at Lightwerkz is worth every penny. Thank you all… I will definitely be coming back for the next conversion.

I endorse the unanimous praise of others for Caesar Rowinski. He installed fog lights in my base model Altima 2.5S with good natured patience for mistakes I had made in assembling the hardware. I particularly appreciated that my multiple requests for guidance could be carried out by e-​mail, which he responded to promptly. And then, as icing on the cake, his charge was half of what other less experienced shops had quoted ! Thanks Caesar.

Amazing service and quality, I hate having my vehicles with the poor output of factory lighting. Plus I always like to put a personal touch in what I drive. Their work is top notch in a clean and professional shop. I’ve had work done before and will keep coming back with every vehicle purchase I make.

You really get top-​notch work from this outfit.
Caesar and I have been going back and forth concerning a new set of headlights for my Toyota Tundra since 2012, andI’ve monitored his progression as a business throughout. This is a big investment, and it takes quite a bit of perfection to make me happy, not only satisfied.
We’ve traded over 30 e-​mails regarding options, best configurations, cost, and application. The guy really knows the products and gets the best of the best in equipment and labor, and that’s evident by the other reviews I’ve read on custom vehicle forums, etc.
Here I am in California, and the work was perfect, shipping packages were bullet-​proof, and turn-​around was less than a week.
Be prepared to get what you want, and what you pay for, as these lights have made my rain and snow driving, let alone clear skies driving so very much better and safer, for the other guy, too, as I’m not blinding on-​coming traffic with big truck after-​market halogen bulbs, or even worse, HID lamps with the wrong reflectors!
I will have Caesar do my work again!!!

I have visited this shop more than few times in order to get some works done on my bmw e90’s headlight. They are really a top notch shop in the country I believe, Caesar is a nice guy to deal with, honest person, and really knowledgeable in his field. They offer you the most reasonable options, and best work for the money. You can really trust those guys, they solved my problems with my headlights and i m sure they will find a way to help you too. don’t hesitate!

Great working with Caesar! Bought and sold more than a few sets of headlights and has always been honest and prompt.

Best work I seen so far. Look & output of light is amazing. If I would do any light work in the future I would go back to this shop.

If you want your lighting to be done the right way come here. Caesar explains everything the pros and cons. He knows his stuff and is a master of his trade. Everything is done with precision. He’s also not the type of guy that will forget about you after the sale/​job. If you ever need anything after, he’s there for you. Excellent shop!!!

Amazing Quality of work, every time!
Their Shop is located in Oakland, NJ.
Once you step in the shop, you notice that it is VERY CLEAN. No tools all over the place, a nice waiting area, and even a 2 post Lift. It shows the attention to Detail that Lightwerkz has for every project. This is a professional shop that is well equipped to do retrofits, not some guy in his basement doing it for side cash that could disappear next week.
I’ve had 3 experiences with the crew at Lightwerkz.
Experience #1:
The 1^st time was with a set of headlights that were already retrofitted. Lightwerkz was happy to help me out even though they did not do the retrofit. It turned out to be a bad wiring harness so they were able to sell me one to make it back to 100%.
Experience #2:
Lightwerkz did a headlight retrofit for my bi-​xenon BMW E46 M3 headlights. This retrofit was very simple for them as they have done many already. I was able to wait for the retrofit to be done. The output on the E46 M3 was pretty weak compared to other factory HID systems that weren’t even projectors in my experience. The guys at Lightwerkz installed FX-​R projectors and made everything from the factory work with the projector. The output was amazing! I wasn’t sure from this day forward how I was going to drive at night with any other setup. The output was excellent, the cutoff was nice and clean/​sharp.
Experience #3:
I purchased a 2013 Subaru WRX. I didn’t want to spring for the extra $ 1000 dollars for the Limited model compared to my Premium model. The Limited model comes with Leather seating surfaces and Factory HID headlights. I really did not care for the factory leather seats, but I really wanted the HID headlights. Even though $ 1000 was a good deal for what you got, I decided to stick to my guns and let Lightwerks handle it for me. They have an Excellent OEM solution for the 2008 – 2014 WRXs. STI projectors can be fitted to the OEM housings. You also need to purchase the HID Bulbs, Ballasts/​ignitors, and the wiring harness. Lightwerkz made the install AS GOOD as OEM just like my E46 M3. While doing the retrofit, I opted to do the clear lens option and also painted my housings a black chrome. No more chrome housings that came with the 2012+ WRXs! After it was all done, AGAIN, I had excellent output with a clean/​sharp cutoff.
So in summary, Lightwerkz is really a TOP NOTCH SHOP and I am lucky to have them close by. If I ever move, Lightwerkz is only a UPS shipment away to send my headlights for them to retrofit.
I highly recommend sending all your lighting needs to Lightwerkz.

**update**
First off, immediately after Ceasar charged me $ 90 for an issue I was having with my low beams thinking it was covered under warranty it was never the same again. I can understand charging me for the wiring, since it literally came apart on th car. This was the second or third time I had problems. And he always helped me out, this is my daily driver (Honda Civic) I was caught off guard and told him. Honestly I wasn’t really prepared for $ 90. Again, thinking this was covered under warranty. He charged back the card which I thought was a good move, if he told me initially there would be a charge I would have been prepared, I don’t care about the harness $ 35-​$ 50 no problem. This was over $ 90
The second issue was when my fog light when out, he used an older ballast that wasn’t mine, To fix the issue. Now that failed. Look, This is not my first time with HID kits I know how it goes my other car still has the same kit from precision. I was very clear when I first came to the shop. I cannot speak to his work because it’s legit. That should go without saying. Customer service is lacking, and he needs to be specific with clients. I contact him a week prior to set something up and I never hear from him again. That’s unprofessional. And I’m very clear in stating that I’m purchasing new ballasts. Great work, as a one off. But that’s about all I would hit this place for. Prices are very expensive. But again, I don’t mind paying a premium for quality work. A warranty is a warranty. Don’t offer something if you can’t stand behind it. Sucks but that’s the business your in. Now I’m stuck with the both light out on one side of my car. Very disappointed. After 2 months trying to set up an appointment.
**previous review**
Working with Caesar and his team have been nothing short of extraordinary. From the very beginning he has walked me through the process of this business. Not only taking the time to show me different options but helps to guide my project from concept to completion.
I’m starting off with dual Morimoto 35 HID’s for low beams and fog lights 5K all around with option of 3500K for yellow fogs. Will be moving forward with the retrofit conversion FXR — 8^th gen Civic sedan
I have never seen anyone take the time like Ceasar does At lightwerkz. Even taking me before I went to work 7:30am and the team is ready to go. This is by far the most professional people for the job. Actually convincing me to keep my daily commuter. Now I’m looking forward to modding every car in my family. As far as I’m concerned this is it. Thanks again guys, for everything. See you soon!

Amazing. I’m am so happy I found this place.
I have a 1998 Toyota 4Runner and wanted to repalce my old, busted headlights with some nice bi-​xenon lights. I did a quick search online for «Brooklyn HID Retrofit» and found a local guy who gets good reviews from a lot of the lighting forums. His prices were reasonable, and outside of a handful of vocal online guys complaining about him, he generally got good reviews. So I took a shot and had my redo my lights. The turnaround was good and he did a good job on the headlights, but post sale support was absolutely miserable. I had several issues and his response time after he sold me the lights was often times days. Most recently, my lights stopped working altogether, and I simply couldn’t drive the truck at night until it was fixed.
Enter Lightwerkz.
I worked with Cesar and he was absolutely, positively a joy to work with. I want you to think about this… how many times have you bought something online or from one vendor, had a problem with it, and needed to take it to a shop to fix it? Now how many times have those shops said, «sorry, we only warranty/​work on products that were purchased directly from us.» Lightwerkz was the exact opposite. I called him at 4pm on a Monday and told him the issues I had. He told me no problem and told me to bring it in the next morning at 7:30am and he’d take care of it.
They are about 45min from NYC, so I figured I’d have to drop the car off and figure out a way to get back there either later that day or sometime later in the week. Nope. As soon as I got there he stopped what he was doing, had me walk him through what I had done to the car, and boom, he started working on it immediately. Come to find out, the Morimoto ballasts that were sold to me were an old version, and he said he’d happily give me the new version of the ballast for FREE.
Wat. Are you kidding me? Let me get this straight, I was sold an old product from a completely unrelated company, and you’re going to GIVE ME the new version of it, for FREE, and you’re going to take care of the warranty claim on your time and dime? Who does that? Are you serious? This is customer service, ladies and gentlemen. He explained everything he was doing to the truck and took the time to educate me on the products and the process.
I was in and out of the shop in under and hour. Everything is fixed and working great. He even aligned my headlights for me. Everybody should know about this place. If you’re looking to get your headlights redone but were too nervous to take the jump, look no further! I’ve owned a ton of vehicles (both SUVs and track-​ready sports cars), and this is one of the best shops I’ve ever worked with. This place is fantastic and I highly recommend them to everyone.
