Nice work on these. Want them mostly for the more modern look they add to the front of the truck. Dont have any troube seeing at night, thats why I'm interested in doing this w/ less expensive parts.
Yeah, you should have a top model like these, then a value model that has the same construction w/ lower cost components. Maybe even a low-cost leader model w/ the lowest cost parts that are still reliable...

I was thinking any projector with a threaded shaft. The Morimoto D2s 5.0 just came out and performs very close to the RX350. The threaded shaft is what makes a build simple so offering anything with custom mounting just won't happen. I just don't have the time for that. With a threaded shaft build I can turn them around in a few days depending on paint.Nice work on these. Want them mostly for the more modern look they add to the front of the truck.

Oh yeah, that makes sense. Is the D2s the most affordable projector w/ threaded shaft then?

No, the mini H1 is but the output isn't as good as the D2s. I believe there is only a $30 price difference between the 2
Here's a few pricing pictures. If I do start doing this ive already been offered wholesale pricing but this is just off the site to show the price comparison. They do offer cheaper projectors but I personally wouldn't run them so I wouldn't offer them.
These include evenrything needed (except lenses) and All are quality parts.

Can you add pictures for their light performance on the road
Do you prefer RX350 over Morimoto

Unfortunately getting pictures down the road can be tough and typically I would do them from in front or beside the car so the width and distance can be seen. I'll do my best.
As for RX350 or Morimoto, I really have no preference. I use plenty of Morimoto products but on this build I wanted to keep it all OEM. The Morimoto D2s 5.0 is Definetly a competitor of the RX350 but wasn't available when I started this build. If I were to start a build now it would be with the Morimoto just because of the threaded shaft mounting option saving a ton of time and getting similar performance

I don't have many dark roads with no street lights or a place to safely stop but I tried.

For the people waiting for me to start offering builds. I put an offer in on a house Friday with a 2 car garage. If this offer is accepted I will have a much better and easier place to build vs my current basement. Hopefully this happens and I'll report back. If it does I will begin building once it officially mine

I don't know man. International shipping complicates the process even more but I guess if someone wants to pay the freight I'd consider it
