Hey Mike...
Just teaser pics...what is the projector?
So you left one management team for another? Some of my buddy's find the CEO and CFO's to be slave drivers opposed to the corporate world.

Projector is from a FX 3 "with custom lens and shield.

I'll hit you up as I suspect most us So. Cal guys will at Pursuit for the details.
Looking forward to it. I've debated about these lenses as well.

Mike the clear headlights and corners were better made than I thought.
As for the FX projector I was able to mount it in the same location as the original and also use all stock rear rubber seals and the plastic retaining clips.That is why I showed the rear pic above.

How robust is the reflector housing where you mounted the projector?
Definitely will be looking forward to Pursuit to see this.
Keep us posted.
There have been a few 430's in the VIP rags and one posted here that replicate the LS 600H lights. I dunno how that will look in ours but maybe a dual variant for our usual rectangular fogs.
Gives me ideas.

It is not silicone but a gray putty ..... Put light in oven minus rubber boot and bulbs, 250 degrees for 8 minutes.
