Been wanting better light output on my car, so i finally saved up and got some infiniti M35 projectors from TRS to do a retrofit. To make things easy i ordered the brackets from tony at luxurymods, thanks tony for helping out with all the questions, this is my very first ever retrofit so im still trying to play with the cutoff line and doing some color mods. now on to the pics of the progress so far.
It's not hard, just take your time and use an oven at about 200 degrees or a heat gun. I always start prying from the outside corner and work towards the high beam section.
its not hard at all, after removing three screws that holds on to the shroud and take it off, you take off two more screws on a brackets like thing that holds on to the lens and there it is.
what a min, did you mean the len of the headlight or the lens from the projectors?
Lens off the headlight lol. I have done a few retrofits before and the last one I did was the biggest pita to get the lens off. Thinking about doing a retrofit on my GS but only if the lens is easy to take off lol.
Its easy to take off, just make sure you have something to cut the stretching glue cause ones its on your housing it wont come off.
x2 making sure you don't get glue on the lens is definitely one of the scariest parts, i'm still in the process of doing my retro because of that reason, had to order a new headlight just to use the chrome shroud. once you have the lens apart it's pretty simple from there.
Tony at LM, is definitely the man!! he helped me along the way as well.. props to him. definitely a cool guy to deal with.
OP: can't wait to see pics of it finished.. that cut off definitely looks sharper than the q45.

sorry i thought you meant the projector lens since i did a clear lens swap lol, i actually have never taken the headlights lens apart so i do not know, but i will be trying it for the first time today when i get off school.
