After searching this topic endlessly I only have a couple questions that I couldn't seem to find the answers to. I have already spoken to TRS about my retrofit for my 07 Denali and I still have a couple questions I can't find the answers to. So I decided to post them here since this seems to be the most extensive thread on this subject. Here it goes.
Is the additional work to fit the fx-r projector into the housing worth the trouble and time over the H1? (For a 07 Denali nnbs)
The fx-r is a hard mount retro so once you set there is no more adjusting. Is the more flexibility in adjustment with the mini H1 since the bolt to the shroud? Seems like if rotation is of you should be able to turn them to correct it and if the height is off you can use the stock adjustment?
Would running a 55w ballast and bulb in the mini H1 make up for the difference in output from the fx-r?
My biggest concern that I haven't found an answer to is what happens at the back of the headlight housing? It seems like the mini H1 bolts through the original light socket so the headlight is sealed by the bulb socket gasket. However, in the case of the fx-r where you have to cut the shroud do you also have to cut the back of the headlight housing or does the fx-r also fit in the original hole of the bulb socket? Any pictures showing the back of the housing with these two projectors would help out a great bit!
Disabling the DRL, turning off the approach lighting and the automatic lights seems necessary with a retro. Has anyone figured out a way to make the turn signal bulb or fog lights take up the function of the headlight bulb instead of just disabling the functions? Seems like you could figure out what circuit going to the main bulb provides these functions and wire it to the turn signal bulb or fog lights.
Thank you in advance for any help/suggestions. You guys seem to be some of the most knowledgable around when it come to dealing with a retro for these specific vehicles.

Forget the question about upgrading the mini H1 to the 55w I just read the post above this one in how TRS doesn't offer the 55w setup for that projector. However, would the better bulbs they offer make up some of the difference between the two projectors?
