    Sitting here looking at how large 2nd Gen buckets are and I had a vision;
    How about 4 Morimoto mini H1's per side.??o_O

    Maybe if @TRSAndrew would hook up a sponsorship I can make it happen...

    I think 3 might look better than 4. Two at the top, one at the bottom. I like this idea though. Sub'd.

    How would you get access to the bulbs? You would have to cut the back of housing or open headlight if bulb goes out

    He's going to have to cut the housing like crazy to adapt/hold 4 projectors to begin with. But you access the bulb from the back side of the projector.

    I know you access bulb at projector...I believe I have a little experience with them. Yes he will have to cut the reflector bowl. That's not gonna be bad. I'm wondering if he is going to cut the actual external back of housing

    Like a porsche? I think those are just running lights and another projector in the middle?

    It is possible to fit 2 projectors in the stock housings..... FX-R and Blazers where the fog/DTRL normally go.... 4 would be an intense amount of light.....

    Yes, the back would need some major reconstructive surgery. Did it on my 3rd Gen Quad's.. so nothing new. Design and 3D print a full rear cover/cap.


    This is concept phase


    My only concern would be the amount of heat 4 projectors would put off..I've read 2nd gen Clear lens can melt easy....
