Took me 4 hours to do it... Mostly trying to figure out the adapter combination to use... If i did it again it would take me two hours to do the retrofit.
Took me about 30 mins to pop out the bumper... You do not have to remove the bumper... Just unbolt the side panels to get to the headlamp screws in the side...

I bought the whole kit from the retrosourse.. Came out to 315 with shiiping... If i were to do it again i would buy the h1 morimoto for 150 then buy a ddmtuning kit..
honestly your better off just using your OEMS like I did. All that space made it really easy. And I wish i had a better camera to show you how sharp and wide that cutoff is.
As I am looking at the pictures I need to change the wedge bulb any suggestions?

anyone in the Long Island area im willing to help you out if you plan on doing this yourself... I actually had to reopen them again today because I didnt put the shroud on properly and it popped off. Took 5 minutes to pop the bumper out and another 45 to reopen and reseal the headlamp. Most of it was waiting for the oven to heat it up and then let it cool off

Pics of how you mounted the projectors would be nice. And also is there a particular reason why you choose to use these projectors instead of others for TRS? And is you car the coupe of the sedan?
I chose the morimoto as per Matts recommendation from TRS due to ease of the install and the H7 adapter plates that were included.... Im now obsessed with HID projectors and cannont stand driving car without them.. You see the size difference???


You guys think I should wrap the projector in ALUM tape to have a better cutoff? and have no light escape the projector except through the projector?

You need a new garage door!!

Seriously, that looks like a cool setup. I'm a total newbie about lights. What parts would you advise and where would recommend getting them? What did you have to do to aim them?

Has everything you need! Make sure you select the H7. Upgrade the Ballast 50W and get the XB35 and get the E55 Shrouds. And call them and exchange the RELAY Harness for the H7 Canbus instead. All you need is a small socket set with an extension. And s TORX wrench not sure what size. And a flat Head screw driver. Its pretty simple. You do not even need to remove the bumper.... just loosen it and pop out each side so you can get to the bracket and your all set

Thanks for the info Norwich!
So it doesn't affect the aim?!!
That sounds like a great weekend project (along with all the other weekend projects I have to take care of!).
