Thanks. The smaller projectors are LED and are mounted directly to the reflector bowl with two bolts and spacers to make them “float”. I don’t know how much you’ve seen, but I changed my headlights 5 or 6 times before settling on this one. [/QUOTE]

Heck of a job. I tried mounting through the bowl and they are so brittle I broke several. Thats why I had to go to the brackets.

Can that bracket for the smaller projector be purchased? I'm guessing you made it? Looks cool as hell.

They overcharge and work is sub-par, to say the least.

I bought a Morimoto Mini Bi-Xenon kit from them to retrofit a set of Litronic lights. The RQ brackets they sent me would have mounted the projectors upside down, so they exchanged them for me free of charge for their universal brackets, which I then had to cut myself. The RQ brackets in the picture in your link look correct for Litronics but that isn't what they sent to me. The Morimoto components themselves were top notch, I can't speak about the quality or cost of any conversions they do.

Good to know. The one other question I have is about the fog lights. Is there a suggested upgrade for them? Or just switch to a better bulb.
