your headlight looks awesome!!

I was wondering for the shrouds on the morimotos did you glue them with the hub centric ring and then glue them onto the projector itself or did you glue the hub centric onto the shrouds and just slide it onto the projector tightly? Ive read the TRS DIY on how to install the shrouds and that is what they suggested, but mines keep falling off or the hub centric ring gets melted and it falls off.

I did not even use the hub centric ring. I glued the shrouds onto the bracket I made for the projectors (up top on the minimoir's). In the bottom position I glued them right to the projector beccause they would not fit all the way around the projector without major modification.

What kind of glue are you going to use? I used the UV6800. You can use the regular E6000 I think it is. The only reason I used the UV6800 is just in case the sun does something to the other glue this one has the UV protection. So I just glued them with this stuff. It glues anything together.

I cant find the link, but I saw some HID conversion kits that someone posted going for $35. I would just go with any 35W ballast set up. I bought some that someone was selling for $45 off craigslist. And I only needed one set because I was able to use the Stock HID system my lights already had.

Came out great man, nice work.

Are the lower projectors pointed up at a higher angle than the uppers?
