Default Retrofit headlights morimoto mini ds2 projectors

Hey guys/gals
I just finished up my retrofit I used the morimoto ds2 mini projectors and running 5000k morimoto HIDS the nice part about using these projectors is that they are bi-xenon so you don't loose the high beams. :2thumbsup:



*depth* there is room but not enough for it to bolt right into I had to use a 3"to2" pvc pipe adapter with a 2" to 1.5" slip in adapter and cut them down. I used a heat gun to form the pvc adapter around the housing and use 3M urethane to seal it.



I used the gatling gun shroud and cut them down about 1/2 inch, I sanded them and did a two tone black/gunmetal paint job here are a few pictures.
