    Yep! I love how they look. I thought they were aimed way too high, but I went on a 20 minute drive and didn't get flashed once, so I'll leave them as is and see how it goes.

    :woot: that's awesome!

    Now that I'm done with the retrofit, I need to figure out of I should get in on the blitzpro deals going on this week...I can't really tell if a 21'' bar will add much more than what these minis are giving me now...

    They do indeed look very good! The only thing I would do to clean it up is make a shroud extension or get some bigger shrouds that cover the entire projector.

    Yeah bigger shrouds would definitely look better. I wanted to keep this thing as plug and play as possible, so I didn't want to cut up the shrouds to make them fit. The next thing I need to do is do give my lenses a little TLC. I used some Meguiars PlastiX on them, which helped a little. But I need to use the restoration kit on them eventually.

    Just noticed my passenger side hot spot is pretty low compared to my driver side...I'll play around with that tomorrow. 9 degrees is too damn cold to be working outside.

    So far so good! Just need to get some silicone glue (for some reason, I thought the Mini Graphite shrouds would screw on) and some RTV.

    You can get the rtv at wally world. I didnt know and ordered from Amazon. When it had already shipped i saw same stuff there. I got the red stuff. Hopefully its all ok to use.
    Whats everyone doing for the shrouds? I got the mini gatling and have a coat of primer on them now but dont know if i should do black like everything or maybe color match silver streak, or maybe just a dark graphite to give it some contrast from the rest.

    What's Wally World?

    I purchased some black silicone adhesive and RTV from AutoZone.

    I just left my shrouds alone since I chose the mini graphites.

    What does everyone do with the factory boot on the back of the housings? I just left mine off so I don't have anything sealing up the back of the housings...I was going to modify them to fit but just wasn't sure if that was normally done/if the boot is really needed.

    I received my H1s yesterday. In the projector box there's a zip lock bag with various hardware that holds down the projector to the reflector bowl. What is the bigger silicone ring for? It's thicker and is concaved compared to the other silicone ring.

    The concave silicone ring goes between the reflector bowl and the rear of the projector. There's a really good DIY here on TW about retrofitting the H1.'s. I'll post it when I get a chance. Pretty much all I used from the hardware for the projectors se the concave silicone ring, alignment washer, and the nut that should already have come these onto the projector.
