Pulled the trigger on retrofit parts.

Just got off the phone with Matt @ TRS. Bixenon FX-r projectors are in their way. Retro pictures and install this weekend. Any tips from the other retrofitters will be greatly appreciated.

Crappy fast pictures added!!!

I will get more when I have time.

here are some pics I snapped of my retro in the garage while I was taking pictures for my other write ups:

Output: 4300k Morimoto bulbs, picture is kinda crooked and only like 4' from wall. Bad shot, but it is indeed straight.

cool, my fx-rs have been sitting on the floor for about a month.. just havent had time. lets see some pics when youre done.

 

Started my retrofit. To lazy to take process pictures, but i have the projectors mounted and am just waiting for my headlights to dry from the BHLM paint. Pictures will come tonight.

ive had my parts laying around for a few months but have my bowls cut and dremmeled out just have so many projects going on. im gonna paint all the chrome black inside the hl housing. which shrouds did you go with?

 

Used the gatling shrouds, but i am not sure how much I want them anymore. Haha.

They look good but there is a little bit of mounting that isnt covered. Not really noticeable but still bugs me with all the time into them.

I hope they turn out well, we shall see tonight when I can aim at something farther than my garage wall.

 

there is no way you are going to completely cover all that mounting w/o either vacuum forming or installing a flat piece of plastic that will block nearly all of the reflector bowl. the gatlings are pretty much the best i know of to cover as much as you can.

cant wait for pics!

EDIT: make sure you check the rotation BEFORE you put the jb weld on the backside!
