Looks awesome man keep us updated Id like to see how yours turns out, check the glass in the b-stocks. One of mine was chipped in the corner but didn't effect output for my turn signals.

I wish I could give you some advice on the rubber on the back side, I had to trim that with some scissors to try and keep it as tight as possible. Just to clear my d2s wires on the bulb, sadly I don't have any pics of that, but so far no water or dust in them I'm extremely happy with it

So, do I send you the original headlights to be worked on or do I just send them after I get the modded headlights? :thumbsup:

I took some of the clearance projectors, and separated the projector from the reflector housing, centered them the best I could and tapped some holes and mounted them with screws

I hear ya man, it took my painter 5 days to get around to my project since it was a 3 stage paint. When I installed my shrouds on the signals I did quite a bit of trimming and had to go back and get a touch up done I was quite upset with myself. I did like you and decided at the last minute.

anyone get lenses from klearz? i ordered some a few weeks ago and i got them today. there ****in junk. all bent up and tabs broken i haven't called them yet but they wouldn't be recommended by me. i have heard they may have broken tabs which I'm cool with since I'm going to JB weld them from the inside of the housing but the bends are ridiculous

I've got the xb's also and auto still works like factory I'm extremely pleased with morimoto! I ordered the 4500 lumens and light output is awesome! As far as reopening them if the paint messes up, just take it off with easy off oven cleaner, had an old body shop guy show me that trick to strip paint.

Yours look awesome!!

Here are a couple of picts of mine. They came out pretty dang good, but I miss 55watts of light (easy ballast swap) and also the performance of the FXR projectors (completely new build!)

This is a completely dark road (no street lights)
