Matt's '07 Retrofit Build Thread

Progress Update:
- Painted clear corners black. Tried Niteshades but it was an old can and did not apply evenly.
- Got projectors lined up and bolted in place
- Cut shrouds to length
- Checked the fit---everything went in great
- Painted reflector bowl
Will install HIDs, aim them, and re-seal on Friday.

Looking good! I recommend using epoxy glue on the back of the projector and around the screws once they are perfectly aimed. This will ensure that they cannot ever come loose. I chose to do this since I offroad a decent bit and would hate to have a projector somehow come loose.
How did you attach the shroud to the projector? I noticed that the shroud has little raised sections that seem to coincide with notches on the circumference of the projector, but they don't quite reach. Not to mention getting them there would have the projector sticking way out of the shroud.
Did you just glue it in? My plan was to use the RTV sealant...I think that's what was mentioned in the How-To after aiming them.

For mine I pushed it down until that chrome piece on the projector lense is sticking out about 1/4" from the shroud opening.

Sweet! Can't wait to see them fired up!
As a bit of trivia for the day, anyone know what RTV stands for? (NO GOOGLING!)
I just learned the other day.
