I do. It was actually pretty simple. What are you needing to know?

I'm unfamiliar with how they mount.

Just purchases the D2S, and will be returning FXR's as my understanding from TRS is that they perform just about the same and are easier to mount. So instead of epoxying the crap out of it, i can rely on the threaded shaft and then epoxy if needed. This is better for me as i abuse the crap out of my truck.

I've had evox-R in my retros for two years and they haven't moved a bit! I did have Bilinvic do them though.

Default Here's mine I just finished

FXR Projector
35W Ballast/Bulbs
Gatling Gun Shrouds (To be replaced because they are too small)
Painted Black
XSB 80MM Halo's wired for switchback
















I actually aimed them wrong, so the projectors actually cross further down range. Not too happy about it, but the output remains the same, they're just crossed. Not bad for my first retrofit. I'll probably sell this set sometime down the road. PM if you want to reserve them.

Those four lights on the front are huge. Headlights look good.
