Definitly looks great. Cant wait to see the final product.

 

Looking good! I recommend using epoxy glue on the back of the projector and around the screws once they are perfectly aimed. This will ensure that they cannot ever come loose. I chose to do this since I offroad a decent bit and would hate to have a projector somehow come loose.

 

Progress Update:

- Painted clear corners black. Tried Niteshades but it was an old can and did not apply evenly.
- Got projectors lined up and bolted in place
- Cut shrouds to length
- Checked the fit---everything went in great
- Painted reflector bowl


Will install HIDs, aim them, and re-seal on Friday.

Will do. Definitely don't want the projectors wobbling around.


How did you attach the shroud to the projector? I noticed that the shroud has little raised sections that seem to coincide with notches on the circumference of the projector, but they don't quite reach. Not to mention getting them there would have the projector sticking way out of the shroud.

Did you just glue it in? My plan was to use the RTV sealant...I think that's what was mentioned in the How-To after aiming them.

 

looks sweet, these gonna be lighting up Clemson or have you moved for the new job?

 

Will be lighting up Clemson until May 14th, which is when I move into my G'ville apartment. I'll still be around on weekends, though.

 

I also used epoxy for that, just a few dabs on the outside of the chrome part surrounding the lens of the projector, then push the shroud down as far as you would like. The glue will be between that and the black plastic rings that you clip into the inside of the shroud. The glue hardens to 80% in like 5 minutes and is 100% after an hour or so. DO NOT put glue on the shroud before putting it on, you risk getting glue on the projector lens which would be BAD.

For mine I pushed it down until that chrome piece on the projector lense is sticking out about 1/4" from the shroud opening.

 

Sweet, thanks for the description---that helps a lot!

 

Looks great Matt!

 

Awesome truck man! Missed the lottery numbers tonight - AGAIN! So pretty stock for me for now.

 

Sweet! Can't wait to see them fired up!

As a bit of trivia for the day, anyone know what RTV stands for? (NO GOOGLING!)

I just learned the other day.

You win!

I ha never thought about it until I was in class this past week for diving helmet repair. We use RTV sealant a bunch and the instructor mentioned what it stood for.

I was gonna google that they other night
