    yeah for sure. The customer service is always great. This is my second retrofit I’ve bought through them and they’ve always been quick to respond with issues.

    I mounted that projector and test fired it installed on the truck. Doesn’t really seem to cause any issues that I can see but I’m still going to see if they can send me a new washer just in case.

    Well I made it work. I cannibalized the smaller washer to make up for the difference in thickness. Got them aimed and sealed back up but haven’t finished mounting them back on the truck yet. The hoop on my bumper makes it just about impossible to remove/install the grill without scratching the hell out of the headlights. I’ll tackle that tomorrow.

    All in all the MH1 8.0 is wayyyy better than whatever generation I had before. I think they were the 4.0. Overall better build quality and the new bulb holders are fantastic. One hotspot is off to the left a tiny bit but I think I can deal with that. If not I’ll pull the bulb and shim it a bit. I do kind of wish I went with a bigger shroud this go around but I do enjoy the simplicity of not having to cut anything to fit.

    nice. I can’t wait to take a drive with mine. Just got them installed without scratching them with the grill so that’s cool. My last set had faulty solenoids that would get stuck too often so I stopped using them probably 5 years ago. Can’t wait to high high beams again.

    So,

    I noticed that the Demon eyes have an 12v interrupter on the driver that shuts off the demon eyes when the hid projector bulbs turn on.

    Question: Anyone do this with halos? Looks like the halo have a switch for the turn singles but no Interrupter?

    I suppose I could keep running the halo while the projector is running

    Just wondering what most people do

    Nice,
    Does you high beam
    indicator work?
    Or do you have to add a resistance type plug in the drivers side?
