Bc it's supposed to be an easier more noobish retro. That said, nothing seemed to work right so I ended up cutting way more and siloconing the crap out of everything. Heads back into the oven to seal things up. I'm praying everything will come together well. I'm almost there!!
All that said I might as well have went with the fxr. Oh well. This will still be 10x better than stock.

No, one fit, one didn't. Just used the dremel to clean it up a little.

Just finished up. It wasn't pretty but they are done. Two things. I hope the headlights don't leak, and I broke a bulb holder so I'm gonna have to call trs and see if I can get a hold of a new one. Until then only one light will be on lol.

Not to be a dick or anything..But did you even bother reading at least one thread about doing retros? The questions you're asking are amatuer hour...How do you get the lights part? How do you seal them up? Etc. etc...I don't mind helping but these are way too basic of questions and it shows me you have zero clue about what you're doing. Nor did you take the time to read like the rest of us. Best of luck.

So later this week I'm going to reset the passenger projector. Going to be a huge PITA but it is what it is.

Any other pics? Anyone else finished? Get on the ball guys! Haha.

Here's another pic of mine I took a few minutes ago. Was doing some yard work around the house and loved the way the lights looked so I snapped a pic.

I mean I guess I'm done persay, but I need to redo one kind of.

I may paint the shrouds black, can you give me a closeup of the side of your shroud where the projector shows?
