    I didnt take any good ones. I'll snap some better ones tomorrow. I really need to aim them though. They're pointed pretty low. Better than blinding oncoming cars though I suppose. The cutoff on them is sick!!!
    Also want to do some additional zip tying to clean up the space a bit more.

    Btw, anyone else have an extra connector? lol. I know that sounds bad, but seriously.... it had the black/red wires coming off it in a bag all its own. Is that just a spare?

    edit: looks like it might be the one in nofords picture, at the bottom left.

    Apollos have a shoud centric ring that snaps into the back of shround then goes over the projector you just add epoxy or silicone to ring around projector and shroud slides on untill it hits the bowl in which case is ok to leave and not trim i didnt and have no ill effects from just sliding the shroud on and not trimming

    the gatlings dont have shroud centric rings, u have to silicone or epoxy them to the projector. u have to trim the backs if they hit ur housing or inside if there hiting the actual projector i think. Just call trs they'll help u
