    Got everything in and ready to do this sometime this week. But I gotta say for someone who has never done this (ME) it looks intimidating as F**K! Maybe I'm just thinking to far into it lol. But you can tell all the TRS stuff is great quality and A+++ stuff!:D

    Seems that way, but once you start tearing into it, it isn't that bad. I was in your shoes too, and when I finished I was like "oh, ok, they were right, that isnt that bad"

    Has anyone began working on theirs yet?
    I'm having trouble taking off the 3 screws on the back of the morimotos. Don't these have to be off in order to fit the tail through the reflector hole?

    Are those FX-R or Mini-H1?
    Those don't look at all like my DS2.

    Yes... Mine arrived today, one day ahead of schedule.

    With any luck, I'll be able to actually start this weekend... that'll give the painted parts a week to cure/offgas before reassembly.

    Got mine today too. One thing I noticed is that both of my FX-R boxes are labeled "LHD" instead of 1 left and 1 right :confused: does that make any difference??

    These are the 5Five ballasts (50w) D2S FX-R 5000k with Gatling Gun shroud, glue, and H3 harness

    This is the resealing glue and all the other stuff. Also, the last picture shows the cutoff but I did this by shining a bright ass flashlight through it on my bedroom wall. Now very bright but you can see the cutoff at least.

    LHD means left hand drive...US drive on the left side... RHD is for europe and all the other countries where the driver sits on the right side.

    LHD = cutoff has the lower step on the left......

    RHD = cutoff has the lower step on the right.

    Damn that looks good! I'm on the step of attaching the mini gatling shroud. In order to do it do I HAVE to take off the reflector bowl or just glue it to the projector
