Pic Request
Hi all! I am getting ready to start my own retrofit and would like to see some 04-08 F150 heads utilizing the Gatling Gun Shrouds. There are so many shroud options however, for the build I am going for, I believe the GG shroud will work best. I plan on using the Morimoto Mini H1 6.0 Projector with XB35 6000K HIDs. I don't want to give out too many details until I get them built. Any pics you can supply and any install tips would be greatly appreciated!

Not exactly what you were looking for but here is mine it uses evo x-r projectors with g37 shrouds.. Hardest part is taking your lenses apart. Good 3+ hour job for sure. Use your oven at about 190 degrees works good. Gently pry until you've got it apart takes a lot of patience. You may even want to pick up a set f ebay housings to avoid some permaseal headache. Other than that a mini h1 kit is about as simple as you can get with a retro.. I like the idea behind them, seems to work well.

Looks great! Thanks for sharing. I've had bad experiences with eBay housings in the past and I was lucky enough to score some OEM heads for roughly the same price. I think I've decided against the Gatling gun shrouds. They just look so small compared to some of the other options.

Keep in mind the picture of the beam was before I opened them up to rotate them a little more. They're perfect now.

Those look awesome! What kind of paint did you use on the shrouds? High temp?

Been almost 3 weeks since and haven't noticed any issues with the paint.

Nope. just used regular black paint for the housings and shrouds and bought PTM silver for the shrouds as well. I didn't clear any of it either. A local dealer/installer for TRS does the same thing. Been almost 3 weeks since and haven't noticed any issues with the paint.
