[QUOTE="yuke175, post: 945948, member: 12689"] Recently started a new project and figured I would post my progress up here. This the Fx-r projector which I beleive is a remake of an infiniti projector. The kit I am using is the fx-r stage 3 kit from theretrofitsource.com. I had previously used shitty aftermarket hids in halogen housings and it was horrible, my smoked headlights make it worse so I started this to get some crazy light output... heres a picture of the projector... I made L brackets for the bottom mount and threaded the brackets, the bolt has a lock nut, so when i spin the bolt I can adjust the cutoff beam rotation. This is know as the "jnc mounting method" I will adjust the vertical aim with a similar setup on the top of the projector to the back of the housing.

Most guys mount the projector into the reflector but I tried that and it was not as sturdy as mounting directly into the housing. So I mounted it directly and will be molding the shroud and the stock relector together for a nice clean look... then painting black...
