So I bought myself some clear lens headlights for my mountaineer, and then I bought some morimoto mini hid projectors. I was getting sick of the spyder headlighta that didnt even fit. so minutes after receiving the clear lenses and projectors I had to cut a few pieces off of the clear lens assembly and after I baked it and removed the lens it was very simple to cut and trim what I needed to get the projector to fit I I would say that the whole thing took me about an hour oh and I forgot I used a can of spray paint to make it so that the reflectors don't reflect at all / very little. I only had time to do 1 of the projectos and one projector was missing some hardware so im waiting for that too. pics below. .. IGNORE THE Gril I cut...

I cant find a straight answer really, it seems like this company has great customer service, but everything else is different, then this company seems to have great ballasts, but seem to have terrible bulbs. I found a set of 10,000k bulbs, and 2 ballasts in my shed and they were H1's (Used them in my 95's projectors, then I won a nice set on X2), so I put them in my fogs. They dont flicker, nor have or have I had any problems with them up until a couple days ago the drivers side bulb didnt wanna ignite, but after a few tries, it was fine. (And still is). I bought a set of Xentec ultra mini ballasts, (Theyre damn small, and waterproof), and a set of bulbs from Xenon Wholesale (eBay vendor). Theyre H3, 6000k (Ordered 5k but...
