    Getting there...
    Check out the lighting section. Tons of info there. Not sure how DDM's projectors are. Most guys go through theretrofitsource.com for their HID parts. You'll need bulbs, ballasts, and the wiring to go with it. There are how to write ups in the lighting section.

    Even with 25% off you'll pay 2x more through TRS.

    OP: To answer your question I personally went with the V3 H1 projector & standard shroud that others refer to as the gatling gun I think. FWIW the v3 housing and standard shroud match up well because you actually attach it via screws through the back of the projector housing to the back of the shroud. No need for JB Weld or 2pt epoxy and no concerns of shrouds ever falling off inside the housing.

    I just finished over the weekend and snapped this after running it through the carwash to test the reseal job so it's not the best photo but gives you an idea.

    I went with this same setup. Haven't installed it yet, is it pretty straight forward? I'm also on the fence about if I should black out my headlights while I'm at it. I have a SWB with chrome running boards, grill surround and bull bar... Don't know how the black would look with all the other chrome.
    Also interested in your response to the post above this one re: alignment. ^^^

    @Ostrichsak can we get a review on these since its been a few months? Also pictures of them and of the cutoff. I'm super interested in completing a retro and I've always had good luck with ddm products
