Lookin' good so far though, man. Im bummed my CCFL rings broke. They're super fragile. I htink you made the right choice using LED rings.

After thinking about this retrofit for a really long time I've come to the conclusion that I will not be able to use the gatling gun shrouds and will have to use the minis. The only way I could use the gatling guns is if I cut them more which will then not allow the halo to attach or cut the headlight bezel which I do not want to do.
So I think I'll move on to the mini's and make these work, but I also cannot use the halos with these unless I come up with a way to fab a bracket.
Still thinking on all of this though.....

I used the mini gatlin for mine. I was suprised how big they were. I still have to cut off a good bit of the shroud.
Make sure the shroud isn't touching the inside of the housing anywhere. Mine was and when I adjusted the cut off the damn shroud fell off inside the light.. Yeah I had to take apart the light and redo the shroud. I prob did something wrong but just thought I would pass that on. I ended up using a small amount of epoxy to secure it.
Looks good. You will love the light output. You'll wonder why this wasn't the first mod you ever did.

So the car goes to the body shop tomorrow for some surgery. I'm kind of nervous. But... let's keep working on it.
This is me replacing the relocated in-line fuse to the battery with a circuit breaker. This is what i use for my battery relocation setup from front to rear! Its 2 AWG orange welding wire, then I crimp and solder the ends on, heat shrink tubing on the end, inside plastic casing which is wrapped in electrical tape.

Well the lights are read to be put back together, but its the halos that I can't make up my mind about. I just.......... don't know what to do.
I do know I have one halo now. And I think ya'll agree that it would look dumb with only one halo in each light. So if I do go halo, then I'll do both sides.
They're would also have to be different size halos for low and high beam sides, I'll spare you the reasoning...
