My bad, They are 45mm long, UHL is 40mm. So they are 40mm long when put in on the hub, because you'll automatically loose the 5mm behind the hub. Does that make sense? I hope this doesn't over complicate it for you.
On another note, let me confirm this by tonight, just in case. Don't want to steer you in the wrong direction.
I still have all of my old studs, so I'll measure them and report back to you in a PM..

.. I can't seem to find the right wheel, without doing major fender work. :thumbed:
Thinking maybe carbon fiber fender panels, something like the Black Magician fenders. But I just don't know how I really feel about the Black Magician fenders, they're nice. But the rear's just don't do it for me. On the other hand, is the MJK Customs Blister wide body kit, which comes with wide fenders.
So split there at the moment.
And also just been very busy with school since I'm about to graduate
I ordered a salvage NAV from Japan. So there was something wrong with it's CPU, but everything else was super clean.
So when I got it, I removed the panel that's on the outside that has the Japanese hieroglyphics and put it on my older NAV. So I couldn't ever tell you if a straight JDM nav will be a straight plug and play and that it would work flawlessly.

4 projectors:
2x LS430 stock projectors + with added clear lens from TRS
2x Morimoto D2S 3.0 bi-xenon
They all run at the same time for now. I have the Morimotos set a little higher than the stock ones so that the cutoffs don't cross or intersect. For bulbs I have all 4, Philips 85122 WX Ultinon (6000K) running them at 55W Morimoto ballasts. So the color output is really more close to 4500k-5000k, so the color is whitish/hint of blue. Just because I'm running them at 55W's, if I use my older 35W they output very bluish like you'd normally see 6000k bulbs.
But I'm currently making a switch that allows me to run only the stock projectors, and if I need the extra light I can flip the 2 Morimoto's on whenever I want. I'm going to use the "Ultra Luxury" trim button panel. Use the "height button" and when I flip the switch HIGH all of the projectors will be on. And when flipped back to NORMAL position, only the stock ones will be on. Of course this doesn't interfere with the stock lighting control buttons.
I managed to put everything in place, I just need to check some wires and make sure everything is working alright and will later upload pictures.
The halos or circles around the projectors are white DRL's/switchbacks now, along with the Black Pearl LED strips. The Halos flash orange when using indicators or hazards.
I'd like to thank "TheRetrofitSource.com" again, because after more than a year now, everything is working perfect, LED's light up like they are supposed to and I haven't had to replace anything inside there. So thanks to them for supplying us DIY'ers with great quality products. Only recently I was working on a friends headlights, he wanted me to retrofit a DDM kit he got, one of the shrouds didn't even light up straight out of the box. We had to wait 8 days till he got a replacement from China. Not shaming DDM, I mean shi* happens sometimes and you can't control when it does happen. But TRS excels in that area, they will give you tested products, worry-free.
