I am assuming you mean D2S which is a reference to the bulb type and the projectors are Morimoto minis. Looks good and thank you for doing it right.

What shrouds did you use and how did you attach the LED halo? I got all my retrofit parts but wasnt sure about doing the halo. I like how yours turned out.

I went with the Orbit shroud. Fit perfectly and filled in the headlight great. I used a small bit of JB Weld to attach the Led's and also drilled tiny holes in the front of the shroud and wrapped very thin wire to be sure. Be careful not to tighten the wire too much as you could crack or damage the led's.

Good luck with it. Let me know if you have any other questions. I did months of research on TW and theretrofitsource before starting mine. It's not a hard job just one that requires time and lots of patience to do them right.
