    I need to install mine. I am almost embarrassed that I still haven't even opened the box yet.

    One thing for sure, you cant use all morimoto stuff. Morimoto halos, strips, and demon eyes all use the same frequency. If you want, you could do morimoto halos and led concept demon eyes

    Yes! Straight alignment

    I'm so happy to finally have it like I want it. Now I just hope it doesn't leak since I've messed with it so much

    So, for instance, if I want to make the front halo white and the back halo red will I need to buy two different brands of halos?

    I feel ya. I hate mis alignments. It drives me crazy seeing two crooked cutoffs
    If you want the front to JUST be white or even amber, you can have morimoto's XSB front halos, morimoto RGB halos in the back and have led concepts demon eye. Only two remotes in that case

    OK. Thanks for the advice. I'll probably go with what you said and tie the xsb's into my turn signals.

    For the XB LEDs I had TRS ship them to Relentless when he was building the bumper. He fabbed some 3/16 bolts inside so I could use the standard second gen mounts.

    For the Baja LEDs I am using the BAMF brackets. They have to be modified/cut down a bit so you can fit everything behind the grill.

    @TRSAndrew Just placed my order for the mini D2S kit. Can't wait to get these things installed! I hate my factory lights.

    Once you retrofit, you'll never go back to halogens. You will realize how much halogens suck lol

    No kidding!

    I started with mini d2s. Upgrades consisted of

    -Morimoto 3Five D2S Bulbs -> XB D2S Bulbs
    -COB halos -> V1 XSB halos
    -DSP 35w Ballast -> XB35 Ballast
    -XSB V1 halos -> XSB V2 halos
    -OEM fogs -> XB Led Fogs
    -Mini D2S Projectors -> Tuned OEM Murano projectors

    Next
    XB bulbs ---> CBIs :drool:
    XB35 Ballast ---> Potted OEM Denso Ballast (debating still since XB is still fantastic)
