Yup in Raleigh mostly north side or downtown. Don't drive towards Clayton much unless on the way to the beach.

Nice
How did you mount them?
It looks like the entire bowl has been removed from the housing.

Yea I made a bracket it for them so I wouldnt have to cut into the bowl and came out perfect. Alignment was great and didn't not take long to do them. I love the output on these fx-r's can see everything

Really, very cool. Do happen to have any pictures of the bracket.
That's great man, they look awesome.
I have some D2S' that I'm preparing to install, just need a little time. I've heard about brackets though, chatting with someone now about them. I guess it makes the retro install a bit easier with less cutting.

They do help with brackets but to me never look as good unless the shroud covers the bowl area. That way it looks clean and not a botch job.

yea that's why I love these led panorama shrouds, they are big enough to cover the bracket that you don't see it.

Bad picture quality I kno but I made this with a cnc torch cutter and loved it cus I didn't have to cut into the bowl or the housing and alignment was perfect, didn't have to make much adjustment

holy crap picture! Cool idea and nice fab mount! I would find something to fill the black space in between outer housing and projector shroud.

I wanted to but once I had them on I already wanted to finish the instal and the fact that it is my wife's daily she was already wanting me to finish. But once I had everything together with the shroud everything was in place and one couldn't really tell that behind the shroud was open. Now I'm jus looking for switchback bulbs for her, any one have info on a good pair for this truck.

Oh ok, I can kind of tell from that amazing picture ;)

You guys are lucky with Yuks with those giant headlight assemblies. I don't think I have that much room in my Tahoe. I think if I did go with a bracket my projector will be very close to the front of the headlight lens.
Can projector do any heat damage to the front lens if its too close?
Thanks for pic tweak, I appreciate it.
