    Unfortunately I can't those were a all in one projector kit using a metal shroud built into the projector using 2 ccfl halo rings, they were great but not very user friendly and the company I got them from no longer sells them.

    Has anyone done a pods retrofit? I saw a set done by SCS Customs. Haven't seen anyone else do anything like the sort.

    I just did it- yes you need to because the H4 washer fits but the projector lines are crooked. What I recommend you do is use a dremel and cutting wheel and then use an orbital sander to sand it flush.

    Thanks for the reply. I don't have an orbital sander, so I'll try it with my dremel. BTW whatever attachments you uploaded aren't working.

    Alright, another question for all you helpful people. I have successfully painted my stock shrouds/bezels that sit around the headlights, and they turned out great! Stripped off the chrome with oven cleaner and it worked great. Went with MGM color match, and they look really good.
    Now I'm ready to paint the reflector bowls. With the shrouds being plastic, I used adhesive promoter, paint, and clear coat. However with the adhesive promoter, it says it's "ideal for plastic, vinyl, and chrome." With the reflector bowls being some kind of pot metal and not plastic, should I continue to use the adhesive promoter, or is there a better primer I can use since it's metal?

    8EA79BDE-554E-494F-AEAB-C7E7F0159EBD.jpg Resurrecting an old thread, be prepared...
    so I just found a new mod I’m itching to do, retrofitting 7” Jeep led headlights into my headlight housings. I wanted to use oem headlights but I didn’t want to use my housing Incase something went wrong. I found a set of oemheadlights off a 2005 on Craigslist for $50 that would work great for my application... I have a 2015. My question is, are all headlights 2005-2015 interchangeable? I know theyr different colors, but are all the bolts the same and everything? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance21BD3F2D-E60E-4966-A687-EE4F6B7BC73C.jpg

    A shroud fell off the retros I bought, if I have to re-bake them to pull it apart and re-attach the shroud, will that effect the epoxy that holds the projectors in place?

    I’m hoping someone still follows this thread. I knew this day would come when one of the lights would die. It briefly comes on when I hit the switch. I hear a “dink” but it doesn’t stay on. It’s not a ground. I’ve had that before. All grounds are tight. I don’t think it’s the bulb since I get a flash as it’s energized. What do you guys think? My components.

    This just happened to me a couple months ago. Luckily I was still under warranty (4.5 years). You need to troubleshoot by swapping parts. Start off with the easy one. Swap the ballast. Does it follow?

    Yeah, I was already thinking that. Warranty didn’t even cross my mind.
