^^ Thanks! Once the snow is gone here, I'll be rolling or cutting the rear fenders and zero-ing out the camber in the rear. Should look great from the back after that!
The cutoff step looks a lot less pronounced compared to the H1 version... I wish I got the D2S now lol.

I don't think I ever posted pics of mine after I got them in.
The 3000ks make for an awesome beam pattern, but the light output is damn near worthless.Last edited by EJX_Michael; 01-26-2011, 06:59 AM.

the shrouds are up to you(what YOU like) the e46 shrouds is what i used but i would have liked my shrouds to have been a little deeper

i didn't run in to that situation b/c i had them retroed into a cheap projector one piece housing
you can cut the opening for the rear of the projector to come through but remember that it will not be able to ever have a standard 9005 bulb in it again if you cut to much
i would recommend a dremel or a hole saw in a drill to cut the opening more

You'll have to be careful about enlarging the hole too, it has to be perfect. Otherwise you'll have to re-install your headlights and re-aim them to make sure they're on straight before sealing them up again.1991 Accord LX - R.I.P. you are missed..
