Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Two Morimoto projectors one cup...uh...I mean headlight...headlight

Thats a better job than I did...I broke my plastic behind the light, but I repaired it.

If I could do it over again, I would do it like yours, that bottom rubber grommet is important to keep the lights from shaking, but I found another solution to stopping the shake too...In fact...that reminds me, I need to find the other piece to help stop the headlight shake.

Drunkie, is your car an '04? If so, isn't there a different mounting tab or bracket than 05+ models? I know I've seen somewhere on these forums that there are headlight "bounce-fix" kits available from (GM?), (aftermarket?).

Yeah 04s had the plastic clips, I bought the metal clips a long time ago, but I cut the rubber grommet out thats in the bottom left corner. That helps to stop bounce...My bad. I figured out another solution to stop the bounce though

I only cut as much as I needed to fit the projectors because I didn't want to weaken the plastic too much. Granted, it is pretty strong plastic and there is a metal locking tab that bolts the headlight into place but I didn't want to take any chances.

That's exactly what I needed to see. In fact I'm going to save that picture as reference if that's pretty much ideal for this application. Thanks homie. :th_thumbsup-wink:
 


Got second set of projectors for my quad set up, unfortunately I can't get the D2S's to line up with the H1's so I sent back the D2S's to exchange them for another set of H1's. Don't know why I had to deviate, oh well. Should have some results by next week, hopefully. In the mean time I was creeping the chatbox and saw people talking about doing their own retrofits. Post pics goddamnit.
 


So I'm gonna paint the reflectors black but what color should I rock with the shrouds? I could rip off Drunkie and paint em red (which would match the car), paint them black or leave em silver. What do you guys think?

I say paint the shrouds black, the paint the cutoff shield red, that way the projector lens looks red.
