[MarketMaster]

not much time spent on this one and almost done:

Figured this should be here rather than in the other thread:

It's sorta finished. Been running them and just need to get the shroud attached.



Shroud i'm using:

I won't be able to do comparison pics as I don't have FX-R 3.0's anymore. But for impressions, I love the intensity. I can truly tell a difference. The throw on the rx350 is much further. I had the lens polished so I maintained the OEM optics. It is wider than the FX-R 3.0 and more intense across the cut off. The FX-R 3.0 imo is a great projector but the rx350 is clearly a step above. Also, I prefer an OEM projector.

gosh I need a retrofit in my life... I like the curvy cut murano ones you've shown in the past.

I like the slope myself as well. These just have a lot more intensity across the cutoff and width on the rx350's or I would have used the Murano's.

anything would be better than the HID retrofit I have on the stock projectors in my DEPO GEN4's

Have one side finished. Now need to do the other. I really really struggled on if I wanted angel eyes or not. Maybe in the future, who knows.

Also, I don't know whats going on with my corners. Anyone have any suggestions?

I also sealed the back where the ballast is by making a custom gasket from a sheet bought from lowes that is used in plumbing.

Hi MarketMaster....

I have just tried sending you a pm, but you cannot receive more mail. Could you please email me ( diehlj at gmail dot com ) at your convenience. I'd like to discuss having you do a retrofit for me if you are interested.

Thanks kindly,
- Jon D

Man I like these...been planning my retro into Bosch housings and the rx350 with clear lens looks like a frontrunner. I hope the 3.0" lens won't be a problem in the Bosch, also the open projector design will reflect into the low beam bowl probably....might have to get some black aluminum sheeting around it.

I want to avoid cutting the inner lens as well...never been a fan of the look but that pretty much rules out any 3.0" projector I think.
