here is a short and brief DIY on how I mounted the projectors; there are alot of steps that i skipped so if there's any questions, feel free to ask me:
Mounted but not aligned
Noticed the red circles; that's where I used 2 bolts to mount the projector
I marked the top of the reflector as the center and where the projector should be pointed; still not yet aligned
The rear of the projector and its markings to align the projector so it would be level and pointed in the right direction
Test fitting the shroud; not yet trimmed
Spacing the lens and testing it out in the basement
Mounted, aligned, and cleaned
Shroud trimmed to fit reflector perfectly

parts wise, it costed me about $375. labor wise, costed me a weekend. injury wise, developed a cold from staying in the garage too long in this freezing mid-west weather.

wow, very impressive. The width of LS430 projectors is insane. You use TSX clear replica lenses, spacer right? I just check out your thread in hidplanet.com. Great craftsmanship, I am speechless.

that came out really nice!! its good to see someone willing to do a custom mod around here. its not always about what you can order and bolt on, some people forget that.
