Lots of progress today. Well some at least. I have a little more trimming to do for the d2s in the high beam area and now I have to make the plate for the rx350. Best tool for the job is honestly a dremel and a hacksaw.
Lots of work still to be done and I still have the other light to modify but so far so good. Not only in the trimming part but the rigidity remains in the mounting plate to where I do not think jiggling will be an issue.
The pictures are all messed up for order but I tried to take pictures at every step of progress.
My humble work area that I've carved out of a garage. It works for such an intricate project though.
The goodie table. At least now everything is organized somewhat.
First test fit in the high beam area. This is actually the easier of the two to mount and fit. I would have been done with the mounting if I had not gone with the rx350 projectors for the outer.
Fully seated.
Tested with the cover on. Lots of room. With the shroud on it will blend in pretty well I think. Time will tell though. I can sink it more but honestly I like how stiff this mount is currently. If I have to cut into the bowl more I will erase strength from the reflector housing.
Another shot mounted. It's dead on for aiming purposes or at least the beginning of the aiming process.
I had to cut the throat a little bit. The rear of the projector matches the rear of the housing which is great for sealing. I might have to shave some more off to fit the ring. I don't want any twisting on this at all.
Looking at the gap for the rx350 projector
It's tough to tell but I had to cut quite a bit from the outside to get this to fit with the OEM shield control.
I managed to save the mount for the stock fixed shield. It's going to be my new mount for the rx350 projector after I get done with it. Gotta wind up the dremel with the metal cutter.
Dropped the main piece on after I finished (kinda) with the rx350 just to make sure I'm square. So far it looks great. After I modify the shield it will be perfect.
Just a comparison of the unmodified housing and the modified housing. All in all it didn't take much to get things where I want them. The awesome thing is I did not have to mess with the aiming controls so everything should remain as normal.
I knew this would be a big project but honestly I am pretty happy with the progress so far and it is pretty straight forward as well. It might be easier to fit smaller projectors......but go big or go home for this build. I've got a couple of cool details up my sleeve. More to come.
