No, the LS430's are shorter and don't stick out that far.

Anyone attempting to try any retrofit on their own, we offer the same brackets we use to get the perfect install. Horizontal alignment, one of the time consuming tasks will be eliminated with the use of our bracket. You won't have to worry about messing with silicon/glue/JB weld to secure anything. Once done, everything functions as it should from the factory, all adjustment screws work!

Happy Modding!
Hello,

Regarding these two sentences in bold from the quote.
On the LuxuryMods web page I was only able to find these bracket for a Q45 install:
http://www.luxurymods.com/q45project...s400gs430.aspx

But when using M45, E46, TL or LS430 or any other projector set up do we then use the same bracket or not. What I'm trying to ask is are we restricted to a particular list of projectors that will work with the brackets from LuxuryMods?

Thank you!

Each projector has its own bracket that look totally different, you have to email them to order the proper ones. IIRC they only make them for the M45, LS430 and RX. So yes you are limited only to a few.
