  1. Thanks. So mounting the FXR to the stock mounts requires trimming most of the top posts down then drilling new holes in whats left of the top posts. I used construction screws after trying a few different screws. The bottom posts need almost no modding besides trimming the little tabs off. The FXR sits flush with no gaps seen from the front. Its a little tricky getting it all centered and flush. I'll admit there was a point where I thought I had made a mistake by trying this myself, but that was do to debris migrating into the housing. It all worked out though. If I ever do this again I won't use a dremel tool. I'll either buy or rig up a hot knife to do my cutting to cut down on dust and debris.
  2. I'd say the color match is very good, I can't see a differance from the DRL's. I originally was going to have a shop near me do the work but after a few minutes of explaining to them how to do this retrofit I lost all confidence in them, and they wanted $400 for the labor just for the headlight mod. I still had to get the lights out, back in , and wire it all up. The hardest part or the retrofit, in my opinion, was keeping debris out of the housing. I learned fast that taping up everything was the way to go. If you are patient and have good jimmy-rigging skills, I'd go for it.
  3. So I just finished my projector retrofit on my 14' Sierra. FXR 3.0, 55W 5000K Morimoto setup from TRS. I used the "rear entry" method that was pioneered by Bass Mechanic, I think. It went pretty well. Taking apart the front end of my truck kinda sucked. The first light took about 4 hours and was pretty stressful , the second took about 1.5hrs. Very happy with the results. The harness that they sold me had the stock input inverted( black to red, red to black). I got a loud relay buzz on my test before install. I swapped the stock input plug( red to red, black to black) and that fixed it. Thanks to all the people on here for the info to do this on my own (First DIY retrofit).
