Hey guys quick question- I may have my passenger bulb burnt out on my retrofits- if I were to take the driver side bulb and swap it in to double check would the passenger side bulb work without the driver side? Trying to diagnose why my passenger side won't come on anymore.

that was a little confusing how you worded that but yes you can put the drivers side bulb in the pass side to see if it works. If so then it would be the bulb if not then you would have to keep going down the chain.

Ah ok, thank ya. I just wasn't sure because if the wiring is off on the driver's side, the passenger seems to go off too. I thought I might need the driver's bulb installed to complete the circuit.

DDM V2 Mini H1 Projectors
VW Tiguan Shrouds
DDM 35W 6000k HID
194 LED Sidemarker
Needs more switchback.

Now that I'm comfortable with the work required I want to do a set of FXR projectors for next year. For now i need a set of 55Ws for these.

Them projectors ddm has are oldddd.
I have about 10 sets of the v3 before they even started to sell. Next time theretrofitsource.Com
has the most updated stuff.
Personally for budget builds that isn't a bad choice. But for a few bucks more the 6.0 mh1 is the way to go.

How much do people usually charge to make decent retrofits. I think I would like a set that are blacked out with a set of red halos. Any input is appreciated!

What did you guys do to seal up the rear part of the retros where there's the big opening and you've got the wires connected to the bulbs?
