Default Anyone used the luxurymods LS460 brackets?

I'm doing LS460 projectors with the luxurymods brackets and bolting the projectors directly to the brackets they sit way too far back in the housing.

They need longer bolts like the LS430 brackets but the factory screws appear to be an odd size. If anyone has used these can you make the search a little easier for me?

I did, he said they didn't know, they've only tested them with the stock screws but everybody who's bought them has gotten them to work. I test fitted using the stock screws and it was very sunken. Unless there were some arms like the Q45 brackets use that I didn't see in the package.

IDK, but maybe the problem is bolting the brackets directly to the projector without a longer screws or shims. The stock adjustment crews should not be touched, nor i think were the problem lies. Post up pics, maybe some one else can chime in.

My experience has been using the RX3 brackets and i hgad to use long screws to make them stick out fa enough to clear the housing, but short enough to not hit the glass.

That's exactly what I'm dealing, need to space the bracket back from the projectors mounting points but the screws in the projector are an odd size. Would like to avoid trying to drill and tap the projector to fit a standard bolt size. A buddy suggested that but it's not something I've done before and would hate to screw up the projectors.

Without longer bolts the projectors sit so far back that the lens barely clears the chrome ring in the headlight bezel, looks like crap as the shroud is hidden back in the headlight and the light looks empty.

I'd take pics but I put my Q45 back in and put the light back together as I needed the car. Could get a pic of the bracket and projector in a little bit and throw that out there.
