Well the way TRS markets their morimotos makes it sound like you just hack off the back of the headlight and lock it down. Although that would be great that's not even 1/10 of the bs you have to go through. The funny thing is the people complaining about how much money it takes to do a set are the same people that will buy 2-3 sets of headlights trying to do a retro and then break down and buy spyders or pay someone to do them right. The 1st time you do a retro I will guarantee you that you'll be unhappy with your work. It took me a good 3 or 4 sets to really get it down to where they're acceptable imo. If you complete your 1st set and they're perfect you can consider yourself a professional.

Why do you say that?

I'm just saying take extra caution and time if you're going to try and complete a set on your only set of lights. It's possible for them to turn out good but even more possible for them to turn out completely full of fail. It would be wise to order 2 pair of shrouds also upon starting your retro so you're not stuck sitting there for another week if you mess 1 up. I've messed up my fair of shrouds. I have a template now that I use, helps a lot. You can mark them outside of the housing before you dremel them but the angles and cuts change as you finally get them to fit inside of the housing.
