    It looks like the shroud might cut into the black but that looks sweet!

    Yeah... on a subaru housing. how's that help us? And again... those are not Gatling shrouds (although it does explain the wiring for Kram).

    but thanks for the search help :)

    Response from TRSmatt on hidplanet : The small gap between the reflector housing and the backside of the shroud is normal actually.

    Unless you're talking about the Gatling 2.0 shrouds, which I did see one or two guys mention over there. Somebody with an FJ actually recently posted info on making that combo fit, here:

    http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/show...56K-Warning%29



    The FJ guy has gattling 2.0's which apparently also come with shroud centric rings like the apollos do but he had to trim the sides of the projector... I'm thinking that might be the only solution.

    I got a resposne from Matt at TRS as well. He said the gap is normal. I still think I'm gonna trim them out just a little bit so it looks better to me:D

    yea for the gatling 2.0 u need to sand the interior of the shroud a bit, and the 4 corners of the actual projector to. i just finished the shoruds and projector trimming and it all fits, its just a little tight.
