    Or maybe I don't want to know the answer since I already chopped and painted this BudBuilt. Either way, the truck is looking good.

    I have no clue, I just know that supposedly the D2S has slightly better light output.

    http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/showthread.php?33149-Morimoto-Mini-H1-vs-Mini-D2S
    1) Beam uniformity: The Mini D2S is a bit better in this category, with slightly more even-ness in its output.
    2) Beam Width: The Mini H1 is slightly wider here
    3) High beam performance: The Mini D2S has a brighter, more defined high beam (bi-xenon) output
    4) Cutoff color/sharpness: The projectors are even, since they use the same exact lens - giving them a sharp and colorful cutoff line.
    5) Bulb type used: Obviously the H1 takes H1 and D2S takes D2S, and we feel that D2S bulbs offer a bit more precision, though no more light.
    6) Size: The D2S version is about 1/2" shorter in overall depth, but is also barely wider and a little bit taller than the H1 version.
    7) Modification to your OEM housing: the diameter of the mounting shaft on the H1 is 22mm, whereas it's 32mm on the D2S model, so you probably wont have to modify anything at all when using the MH1, whereas you will likely have to just widen the diameter of the existing bulb opening to use the D2S projector.

    Have to get them in first! Haha

    The retro kit is supposed to come in tomorrow, but I don't think it's going to happen due to the weather.

    The headlights are supposed to get here Monday or Tuesday.

    As soon as I get everything in, I'll be working on it an hour or two a day.

    Haha I'm trying!

    Yeah, I slept for about 4-5 hours and now I'm wide awake.

    They want me at work at 7:00 a.m. on my day off, then I'm supposed to be at work at 12:00 a.m. Sunday....

    OH definitely! Haha

    Our schedule gets so screwed up during this time of the year from the holidays. Everybody wants to get off work so those of us that have to work will go work 7 days straight and get 1 day off.

    Hopefully it starts clearing up after Christmas and will go back to the normal 6 on, 3 off schedule.
