Ok thanks! For the dummy projector you used on your recent retrofit is that a mini h1 projector? Also is there any other shroud I could use with less or no modification to fit the turn signal?

You're welcome! It's essentially the top half of a mini h1 projector. I would recommend the mini Gatling gun shroud because it's much smaller and wouldn't require near the modification.

Great thanks! As for the shroud I would just have to cut the back half off it and use the front? Also how did you mount yours? Sorry for all the ques I just like the look of the two projectors in our headlight and not too many ppl are running them like that.

You would definitely need to trim the shroud but not exactly sure how much. Maybe an inch or two. For the dummies, I had to cut the four mounting posts off of the base to allow them to sit low enough in the buckets and not hit the lens. Be careful here though because if you cut them too short, your bulbs won't fully seat due to hitting the lens of the dummy projector. I didn't have this issue but it can happen if you're not careful. As far as mounting them goes, I used JB Weld Steel Stick to secure them to the buckets and JB Weld to secure the shrouds to the dummies.

Ok I do lol. Does the shroud mount to the inside of the turn signal bowl or the the front of it? Also can you get me some close up pics and do you have any step by step pics?

I'm in the market for one of these Tuscany's and found one .. But I'm not a fan of all the chrome. I will replace rims with black ones of course. But how can I blackout the chrome plating on the sides of the door?

No the dummy projector will mount inside of the bucket. The shroud will mount to the dummy projector. Unfortunately I didn't document the process. It's all in my head lol.

Id suggest what smcox1 said to remove it or paint it. Mine was an older model Tuscany truck so thankfully they didn't put all of that cladding in the doors.
