2008 Silverado projector retrofit...
#11
i baked mine in the oven and they split so easy that way. Plus going back together you can reheat them up and not use any new sealant. Great seal this way. By the way i didn't do quads, i used single FXR projectors. I am interested to see your results as well.
The video you followed there, i actually used that guy to do my first retrofit for me on my truck and had a terrible time with that set of lights, they never sealed properly and and had condensation in the lens plus they would end up getting standing water inside them! I wouldn't use that guy again imo.

I tried to hear them the plastic was giving before the permaseal I have heard on aftermarket housing that you can bake them and just seal them better I'll try to seal them good. I'll keep you updated with pics just busy for the holidays so it might be some days

yes, you have to custom mount them. So you take the bowls apart, cut them and mount the FXR. Then you have to cut that plastic backside for it to fit as well and epoxy a new pc of plastic in place of where you cut it to keep it sealed up perfectly lol. But it was worth it to me, the FXR output is phenomenal, and such a great cutoff line, so focused!

If not, another option is H1s, that's what I'm going to go with. I was considering going with the D2S but for the ease of installation and still great output, I'm going with the H1s.
I also have a small amount of room and don't want to have to cut too much. So, I'm playin it safe, hah. It is my first retrofit to.

Do you already have the D2S kit?

No I didn't already have them. I ordered the d2s when I researched and found that they where close performance wise on fxr and still being a mini and after searching the mini d2s is smaller than h1 I think it measured 5 1/2" long overall length and I think I'm not sure but the h1 is a hair longer and a hair thicker. But I'm not 100% sure maybe if u buy them soon we can compare measures with calipers. And it doesn't seem to hard to install I just need to find the time to actually start cutting and getting them mounted on the suspense is killing me to trust me.
