Why did you flip that cut off piece over and put it back on and why didn't you use the big fender washer thing?

Just curious...

The pieces you cut off the back of the reflector bowls. I've never seen anyone do that.

There's a washer that goes on the back of the reflector bowl that compresses and pulls the projector tight as could be to the bowl. I has three tabs on the outaide and is angled a bit to go over the washer you used before the locking nut.

That is the H7 Adapter plate... you don't have to use that. I didn't cut anything off and put it back on. I dremeled half of the material away. The way i did it I find much better, That was the H4 washer can't move around.. it's centered by leaving that big of material.

It's just dirty as hell, i can't even take it to wash it. It's throwing a P2135 code, something about TPS sensor

I have a few questions. To start , I assume the ballasts are the Morimoto Mini H1 5.0 Bi-xenon ones. Also , what shrouds do the cobalt use as well as which wiring harness do I select. I assume one can pick which ever brightness they want. What would the 5000k look like color wise. Thanks for the help.

I think he picked up the complete Moromoto kit. This means that it came with the 3Five ballast, the Morimoto wiring harness which is the 9007/9004 harness. You can pick any shroud that you want too, just depends what you like. 5k is pure white, they will look like this...

Yes he used the Mini's. Pretty much any shroud can be used I personally wouldn't go with anything larger then a 120x120x60 which is the size of the normal size gatling gun

i find it easier to mount them like this in the rear with the larger washer.. sometimes the smaller washer doesnt like to fit well inside there, not to mention my 27mm socket used to tighten on the projector nut isnt shallow enough to fit in there (using a pliers is ghetto and has the possibility of ruining threads); ask me how i know lol

its still just as easy to line up as the small circles do help you get rotational alignment fairly close from the get-go

i thought you figured this out already haha. you will have to realign everything but you can attach the shroud to the projector, then you put the projector in the bowl
