After a bad ballast, bad bulb & incorrect wiring harness....finally finished the retrofit. I am very pleased with the results. Sorry its super hard to get good pics without glares.

The lights came put great! I would love to do the head lights in my 06 but I'm a little nervous to do them. How hard were they and do you have any pics of how the projector gets mounted? Also is there any videos out there of how to do a retrofit?

Thanks, I appreciate it. I posted all the pics I took along the way. The 09-14 headlight bowls have a little shelf from the existing deflector. This was very helpful to not only keep the projector level, but also act as a guide. I'm not sure if '06 have same setup or not. There are several YouTube videos if you just search retrofits. Hope this helps.

I have the TRS Bi-xenon Morimoto Mini Stage III Kit (D2S) I will be working with.

-Apollo 3.0 Shrouds
-35 watt DS2 6000k bulbs
-Morimoto 3Five DSP ballasts
-110mm White Halos
This is the same kit I have on order from TRS. Thanks very helpful write up!
One question..when you put everything back together did you heat the housing in the oven with the butyl on it, then clamp the lens on.
