My last time saying this. You can go to Advanced Auto Parts and get the 3M Ribbon Sealer instead of ordering from TRS. It's the same stuff, works great. It was $25, but it's there if you need it NOW.

That'll work but the 1/4 is better. I just threw away a whole roll a few weeks ago. Could have sent to you if I knew what you were up to.

Just stretch it out, put it in the seam, pop it in the oven to let it soften, then put the lens back on.

Nice job, and i agree, i think the single projector look with either a apollo, gatling or E46 bezel looks beter on the headlight/car. The q45 looks more toyish like (for a lack of better word) some cars can pull it off, others not so much since the WHOLE car needs to be themed out somehow.
The single look is universal..

Dont understand why people love these so much, for one they are not the the best performer, but anywho to eaches own i guess..

I think they just gotta grow on me ive seen other gs with the q45 projectors and they look very good one thing I dont like about these projectors is how far foward they sit exposing that raw metal around it . I just like em cause its something diffrent And rare most retrofitters go fo tsx or ls projectors

At first I hated it, eventually I grew on it. Looks nice, fills the housing without a shroud. But the output sucks. It'll only complement your car if you're kitted/wheels/suspension.

I love my fx-r.
