Default For Those With Morimoto Mini Retrofits

I'm thinking about doing this, but wanted to hear your thoughts on the Mini. Would you do the Mini again, or go the FX-R? Why? Have you had a chance to see the two compared to eachother in person? If doing it over again, would you go with a different bulb, shroud, etc.? I've been trying to decide for weeks and need some help. Thanks!

I have the fx-r, 3". They fill up the shroud better imo. The mini's work good in the fog housing, although last time I heard but has been awhile that they were back ordered.

I think you're referring to the "matchbox" ones for the fogs, and you're right, they are backordered. Have you been able to compare your FX-R to a the mini? Did you do your retro yourself?

Ahh yes, that sounds right. No I haven't been able to compare, not many people around here pay to have a proper retro fit and just run hid's in halogen housings... Stupid people. Another no, I had mine retrofitted by Bilinvic

Ok, thanks. Guess I should've looked at your sig line, doh.

I'd like to hear from some Mini Retro folks. I'm trying to decide whether to go with the Mini (which sounds like a basic swap out) or the FX-R (which will require some modification). Want to know if it's worth the trouble or if there is that much difference; light output wise.
