              i did mines according to the DIY

              it looks like the way you put the ring down is way easier

                If you pay close attention you can see the difference between how your doing it and how mine were done.
                djcaz_aom helped me with mine, and well, lets just say we did it a slightly different way.

                  yup i can see that. those pics would have made this a little easier if i was to lay it like you did.

                  oo well. now to continue working on this

                    did you just get the projectors, or buy anything else from them?

                    I got the 50w ballasts and 5000 hids with plug and play harness.
                    I can't wait, plus some minor work, and woohooo!

                        To answer your question, it needs to be like in the pictures in the DIY or like drummersteve's.

                        The difference with drummersteve's is his are mounted upside down in the bucket and then the bucket is flipped.

                        I will be updating the DIY with more pictures and the alternate mounting as well.

                        I seem to have more time on my hands now that it is winter and too cold too work on the car outside.

                          sounds great i have decided to go with your original method.

                          the next question i ran into is.....

                          Is this how the shroud is supposed to sit on the projector? Is it supposed to be pushed in as far as possible or i the black ring on the shroud supposed to line up evenly with the black part of the projector?

                          The trimmed part is on top.


                          Took some pics with a camera this time and not my phone.

                            That looks about right. Just be sure to trim enough of the outer shield to allow movement of the projector for aiming.

                                You mean the trim piece that I blackhoused?

                                And is it fine if I blockhouse the shrouds as well?
