Here's a good question to the yall. Duplicolor paint. Over plastic . Has anybody had issues with this paint. Black metallic duplicolor. I been having nothing but issues after issues with a redline set I been trying to finish. Btw. Unless u have a redline don't try to shove a fxr in there . It was a horrible time. But it's done lol.
Is that the half chrome stuff? I wouldn't think the fxr would fit in those little ole lights

Oh they fit. Would the lenses go in? No. Do shrouds fit? Nope. I had to mass cut a gatling gun 2.0

Hey dudes,

I'm having some trouble aligning the cutoff in one of my headlights. I've got the H1 Mini's installed and the left headlight is perfectly aligned without issue but the right one keeps slowly rotating to the left over the course of a few days until it is about 15 degrees off the horizontal. I've tried tightening the screw that holds the projector as well as rotating it back into place but the damn thing keeps rotating back. I'm not **** about **** like this but this is just pissing me off. If it was just a couple of degrees off I wouldn't really care but it's enough to really notice.

Any suggestions as to what I can do to keep the damn thing from rotating again?

Drop some loctite on the threads of the projector and lock washer.

This is going to be really vague but I'm hoping someone can shed some knowledge for me.

I recently got my retros from Mario Martinez off facebook. These are what he sent me that comprise of

Ionic HID Relay Harness - 9007/HB5 Xenon Wiring

Wattage 35w
Bulb type h1
Bulb color 4300k

Digital w/ Fuse Low Beam

They've been awesome and working perfectly for the past few weeks since I installed them. However I went to turn them on today and they projectors wouldn't turn on. The halos and turn signals work perfectly, but the projectors won't fire up. The only thing that I did today was zip tie some wires up so they weren't hanging so much when I put my new bumper on, but nothing came undone. All fuses seem fine. Any ideas?

I did get it figured out, it was the relay harness. Bought a new morimoto one from retrofitsource and it fixed everything!

No DDM tuning actually. It's where I got my hids, read good reviews on the projectors and on a retro budget. I'd rather spend the money into going faster haha. I'll post pics when they're done.
