    D2S, but maybe I should keep my eyes open in the closeout section if products come and go through that area.

    Thanks for the heads up!

    Helped a friend aim his stock headlights. Sylvania Zxe bulbs on the left (if you can even find the cutoff) vs morimoto 5500k d2s bulbs on the right.

    I use Easy-Off heavy duty oven cleaner. Spray the entire bezel/reflector and leave on for about 5 mins. Wash off and chrome gone! Adhesive promoter is good after.

    I need some help. I am retrofitting my motorcycle and have tried twice to set the projector with JB Weld Steel Stick and after about 10 minutes it hasn't set. The JB is too stiff to push the projector back in but the projector pops out. Have any of you used anything else that worked better of have suggestions. I tried starting with the JB warmer and soft and room temp. If it matters I am using a miniD2S projector from TRS. Thanks

    if i could only pick one mod it would have to be retrofits. it is so nice being able to see and knowing exactly where the cutoff is.
