alignment was off, paint was peeling, lacked color, reflector bowl joint was loose, and needed moar paint! lol. so i threw some gloss black on the hosuings, gloss white on the shrouds, and red on the shield and holder for demon eye, plus did the washer mod, came out good.

its when you dissasemble the mini h1 projector and relocate the top washers on the bowl to the bottom 2 holes. it gives the line a sharper cutoff and a more noticible blue colorband

im still deciding for my next projector choice, im stuck between rx330 non-afs with black series lense, or murano 2ndgen, bi-xenon with sti-r clear lense. either way ill be using koito to start off and a set of denso ballasts. next ill decide on the shroud choice, kinda like apollo 2.0s.

Bi-xenon Morimoto Mini Stage III Kit (H1) - Complete Retrofit Kits from The Retrofit Source Inc

Is that a good kit? All I would need to build my retros?

Or should I buy seperately?

As of now the aim and bulb seating is a bit off but good enough, the hotspot is a bit low giving me a **** ton of forground light which in the fog last night was brutal so I gotta get them done soon. I bought them for cheap money like this with no hardware and with the intent to do just havent had the time.
