    Ok so im putting all of the pics of my Retro, into one thread. I have 40+ pics that i took during the process.......


    Guys, not my first for the first with the TRS products. Loving it so far.

    I already have 6 projectors on my car, but the Foglight projectors arnt cutting it. They are a blazer foglight that came OEM on many of the GM Cars and trucks.

    There output is......ok good cutoff, but crappy output, could be the DDM HID kit thats currently in them.

    The other issue that i have is the space. my intercooler is in the way of going any deeper than the bumper mounting points. Here is a pic for reference (old headlight setup)



    So i picked up a set of the Mori, matchbox projectors with the idea to mount them in the OEM housings instead of the current where the projector is exposed.

    Problem 1 is that is have limited room
    Problem 2 is that the OEL fog light is very shallow.

    So i chose the Morimoto Matchbox projectors for this








    so that being said
    this is all i have to work with.



    so sugery began on the light



    and the light fit in



    Just squeaking it in



    Because of the depth i had to modify the Micro gatling






    all together







    One issue i will encounter is the stupid diffuser that GM had to use







    Painted all of the soleniod and the shield black



    painted all of the orignal reflector housing Flat Black



    Got some CCFL's on the Black Friday Sales and Painted the mini GG shrouds a Metallic Dark Silver to match the rest of the theme



    Installed like they will be when in the housing



    Everything assembled, no lense









    and the lense installed..





    Now i did modify these so there is no step, but a flare up on the right side. So its not a totally flat cutoff, but there is a really nice band that these projectors will give off.
