You killing me man. First the new paint job and now q45's. Anyway, I can't speak for the q's, but I did fxr projectors with luxury mods brackets. Only thing I did was trim the bezel a little and picked up some nuts and bolts from lowes to mount from the bracket to the headlight mount. For the sealer, I used the 3m ribbon sealer and it worked great. No leaks or fogging and it's wet and humid around me so it must be sealed good.

the luxury mod brackets mount by using 2 screws on each side of the q45 reflectors. so you would need a total of 8 screws. if ur lucky it should've came with ur reflectors.

you don't need any other screws, once you have the bracket from LM you literally just transfer everything over, nothing else is needed other than the sealant preferably butyl glue.
