I actually got the car back from getting fixed from a deer. I had the GTX hood put on at that time. When I picked the car up from the body shop the headlights had moisture the first day. Here's some differences below on these housings.


The silicone on the right is from the factory very sloppy. On the left you can see where I sealed the actual corner of the housing. That's quite a bit of silicone to get it to look light that. I also went around the top, bottom, and other corner. Black corners that don't leak for the win.

Here, you can see right down inside there's no sealant whatsoever. Headlights are the same way but not after I get done with them.

What do you mean back ordered, from where? I have an extra Morimoto projector H1 that I'll sell for cheap. The bi-xenon solenoid was mounted 1/4 inch past the bottom of the housing. I dremeled the top of the projector housing to make it work but couldn't get it to sit flat. I contacted Retrofitsource.com and it was a factory defect. You could make it work by grinding the bottom inside headlight housing where it sits but I just bought another one. TRS would've taken it back but I grinded the top corners. You can have it for $30 shipped if ya want it

You are buying Morimoto projectors right?

They're on ebay also you don't have to get them via TRS even though Matt is a good guy and his customer service is second to none.

I've got another set of black retro's that you could buy if you want them. They're not the greatest because they were my first set I ever did. They're just sitting here, pretty much look exactly like these.

How much money you haz?

You pay for the projectors, shrouds, and oem black housings plus give me half what I'd normally charge for labor and I sell them to you!

Hope you ordered 2 pair of shrouds

I wouldn't attempt it probably be pretty hard to mount if you even could. Plus I think peeling the lenses on spyders isn't an easy task from what I've researched.

Here's the black housed I just got done with. I'm keeping them bolted them up and adjusted nothing. You think you can replicate a perfect cutoff like that Junkie



Don't mind the narrow garage or all the stuf in the way. I'll get some more output pics on a building sometime soon. I didn't even have to touch the adjusters and that's just low beam!!! Taken from a 2 megapixel blackberry.

The D2S projectors need amp to D2S connectors for bulbs to ballast. They're harder to mount in a gp housing.
