Default So i won a free set of projectors from theretrofitsource

The winner of the free kit is: ALEX ***** If that is you please contact us via phone at 614-653-3451.
Well i enter this raffle and i won this morning! They gave me a choice of 4 projector kits to pick from for my SC300

FX-R,Morimoto Mini H1,Morimoto Mini D2S, or Blazer Fog-light kit
I was wondering for any hardcore lighting guys which would be best for me? I figure it would be the FX-R, but i am not sure if it will fit my housing. I am not going to get the fog-light kit because sc300 projectors are pretty bad already. So i figure that lows would be a better upgrade!

Yeah i called them earlier and got the FX-R. They told me it'll be a little more work than the morimoto minis but i am down to learn.

Thanks guys, should be here pretty soon. Super excited

Kinda random, but do you know where i could find a fx-r bracket for the sc300? I've check luxurymods and couldn't find any brackets. Would i have to custom order it, or do they not carry retrofit brackets anymore.

Already did, they said that the fx-r are too big and a bracket wont fit. Instead they told me to sell the fx-r and get some tsx.

I'll figure out a way to get them mounted.

I used fx in my LS400 without brackets and I think you could do the same.

Should've went with tsx clear projector lens. Had them on one of my sc's n was bright n clean crisp cutoff. Now I have the e39 projectors which are still good but tsx are nicer.

I'm interested in the fx-r projectors if you want to sell them.

The tsx were not a choice for the price so i op for the fx-r's

I still haven't received them since they are back order on the 5five bulbs. I do not think i will want to sell the projectors since it was a gift
