Of course, I went with a "cheap" bulb (Xentec)) for the replacement, and it only lasted a few weeks. I should have spent the extra bucks on Morimoto replacement bulbs, as the first set lasted 8 years! lol
Addison, with the Mini D2S, did you have to enlarge the hole in the back of the housing to fit the threaded portion? I thought I had read that the threaded portion on the Mini D2S has a slightly larger diameter than on the Mini H1.

Wow that's a great review about the long-term on these things. That's why you use OEM and quality parts in the first place! Great info, thanks for sharing.
I did not have to enlarge the holes. One thing I will say is that the actual threaded 'retainer' that threads onto the actual projector body is a slightly larger diamter than the ID that it is supposed to nest into on the back of the housings. I used my Dremel to remove maybe 1/8" so it would nest flush. But honestly I think you could just tighten it up as much as possible and then JB weld everything in place without even having to take that extra step that I did. This probably doesn't make sense until your actual doing this retrofit and have the parts infront of you. Lol

Thanks for posting the info on retrofits too, that's getting higher on my to-do list so it's good to know what has worked long-term.

Totally! I'm planning a Wyoming trip as soon as the borders open again. I am sure I'll be trying to line up with
