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.
I'm hoping to go cut them in about 20 minutes and I have all four projectors in give them a email they'll give you a 50$ discount code.... But besides that here's some pics of light and the projector itself just light output I guess I'll figure how to add more in a second
That's pretty bright. I'm looking forward to getting mine. I found the D2S for a deal, now I need to get the rest from TRS.
Will you be using the high beam function in them?

There is a video in the tube showing a comparison. The D2S is bit larger than the H1. Not by much though.
I just realized you are doing a quad retro. It was recommended to me to only do lows.

You have to take the bowls out to fit them and mark them for cutting.
Can you take pictures as you progress?
I'm trying to find some "how to" on retrofitting with not much success.
me know, I just scored a set of brand new D2S', that's why I'm doing retrofit headlights, hah. I'd use them in my wife's car.

I can take pics of my driver side headlight to show you I used a 1-1/2" hole cutter I forgot what's it called but it used to cut the holes on a door **** but I went a size up to cut the hole bigger by half a inch to see how much further back the projector will sit I'm thinking I might have to cut as much As rubber might be so I can stick the projector surround inside the light housing I'll show you just I have the light at the shop and it won't be till later. But if I do sell the set I can let it go for 130... And we can figure shipping shouldn't be more than 10$ but I'll keep you posted
I'll keep you posted about buying them.
Once I get mine, I'll have an idea of the size and fitment into my wifes car.
How much space do you have behind your headlight assembly?

Ill get you accurate measurements behind my headlight assembly without headlights on its not much. This might take more time than I thought because I have disassembled the headlight itself but here is the forum in going off of so maybe it'll give you a better idea for now.

Defiantly not a problem there is a thread where it's just there lows how to I'll have to search. In the one I sent you I'm a little timid to cut off the bowls to cut the hole that large. I am trying to just use the thread behind the projector light maybe a little jb weld but not the three nuts. And there was another quad setup. I also got a email from trs telling me they don't recommend the projector to sit close to the lens but they haven't had problems with the ones they set up.

I cant believe how much material is removed, there's almost no bowl left.
That's what someone told me. It shouldn't sit too close to the lens but if that's how it fits, its not really a problem. Though I'm going to try and have them further back.
