    Have you called them? And if its a mini you shouldn't have to glue anything should be a rubber washer then a large flat one with a lock nut you twist on.

    Yes the shroud has to be attached some way to the projector whether you use glue, string, or jb weld it doesn't matter. Also remember it was Black Friday so they prolly have a thousand emails to answer... Also the install guide tells you to secure the shroud so

    I must be missing something from my set. There isn't anything that i can screw the shroud into.

    See pictures. Also I don't see a step by step guide for this.

    I'm sure they are busy but I emailed last week

    I knew that something was wrong!.. I have rebuilt cars /trucks /motorcycles and even built my own projectors from a Porsche into a civic before there were retro fit kits.

    Thanks for the help.

    Ya from I can see there's a good amount of space from the lenses and shroud. Hit up trs. Maybe they can get your shrouds out before delivery truck comes

    So there are no screws that connect the projector to the shroud?

    Edit: well that shouldn't be hard at all!

    Except that mine seem to fall off. I thought this was a plug and play kit. why should i be JB welding the shroud on? My design of my shroud on my civic were much better than this. Also called TRS got there VM and have emailed several times. At this point i'm ready to call it! I'm also missing some plug adapters. HEY TRS this is your time to step up!
