Retro Ebay projectors?

Has anyone gotten some of the knockoff projectors online and retrofitted some Mini H1 or FXRs into them? I know the new F150 projectors can be swapped out fairly easily, was wondering if it was the same for these.

That's pretty slick. I wonder if they sell just the mounting brackets. I have the entire Mini kit, just haven't had time to cut and install them yet...

I bet if you could call them and ask they might be able to work something out for you..
But the new bracket won't work with any mini besides the 6.0

You can buy the kit with just the bracket and projector for like 150 less. Then sell your 5.0s or whatever you have. The new 6.0s are the bees knees..

Pretty much just the bowl. Its redesigned to gain more distance and output. You lose width but not much.

I may just use an old set of chrome ones I got and cut my painted ones. They're silicone sealed so they'll come apart easy. Got some other ideas too.

Can you buy just the clear reflector somewhere?
