    Default 2GS Retrofit

    First time doing a retrofit as well. Took roughly 10 hours from unmounting headlight to retrofit and mounting.
    Its not hard, just very time consuming.

    I won a free set of FX-Rs from TRS on a facebook give away about 6 months ago so its just been sitting in my room :p


    Ordered Luxury Mods fx-r brackets


    Pulled the headlights


    About 3 screws on each headlight and just remove all the bulbs, you can leave the HID ballast on


    250 degrees for 10 minutes


    Yank the lens apart



    One bolt holding the chrome bezel to the headlight


    Bought screws/bolts at home depot. I used 10/32 2"


    Test fit e46-r extended



    Shave a good amount on the bezel to clear the shroud


    Remove the previous butyl roll, bake the headlight again to soften the glue then just use a screw driver to clean up the glue as much as possible


    Apply new butyl

    Seal it and finish




    The yellow above the cut off is my horribly aimed fogs.


    Kind of bright outside.

    Sweet. For being free. I love the cut-off. Looks simplified. Congrats to you on your new setup.
