If you have OEM coupe projectors and you want FXR's i can make an extra copy of my brackets and may be able to do yours. If you want any other projectors i'd need em so i can make another custom bracket for em.

I figured out a way to mount the 2.5" lenses in the turn signal spot with just a tiny bit of dremel work... it is going to look bad ***!!!!!!!!

Mounted the 2.5" FXR Lens in the turn signal.

Here is the 2.5" FX-R in the turn signal position. No grinding of the lens at all.

Thats about a perfect size! How are you gonna get it to stay in there? That epoxy you were using? And is the output that much better than the clear oem ones on the coupe that i have? Hmm

Not sure yet how im gonna mount them. Im gonna research what the best way to glue glass to acrylic. im gonna go to the plastics store i bought the bracket from and ask them for suggestions. i will let you know. It looks like the output should be better. They are clear lenses. The coupe oem lenses i think are fresnal and these are clear.

Yea definitely Fresnel i believe. And i guess it gives it a much smoother look to it as well.

Ok I just bought some uv6800 to mount the clear lens in the turn signal. I went with the uv6800 as opposed to the e6000 only because it protects against sun damage.

It fitst the outside of the turn signal housing, but since it protrudes further than the original you have to dremel out a piece of the housing to make it fit.
