I've assumed another person's retrofit project, but I'm missing a few pieces. If anybody here has 3 of these laying around or can show me where to get some, let me know!! They are the plastic swivels for the adjusting screws on the back of a depot oem style housing...
I treat those things like gold because they will be difficult to replace. Unfortunately I don't have any of those depo style (center snaps out) but I do have some stock style swivels which you'd have to dremel down to make fit.

You know that figure 8 looking piece you had to pop that white part pictured above out of... now picture those being 1 solid piece. That what the factory one's look like.
That is awesome. Lighting/retrofit subforum has the most helpful/knowledgable people.!! Thanks again.

Ahh, Im not sure that will work. Check this out - because of the size of the TL projectors, I popped the white pieces out of the figure 8 thing and popped them into the bracket i got from you. This gave me a greater mounting depth to clear the headlight lens and I was able to sit the projector housing deeper in the bracket before it(the swivel) hit the bracket on the one offset hole.

BUMP I need ONE MORE!!
Yeah, it took a while to design the brackets so the TL would fit right. It used to be the most difficult retro to do, now it's just as easy as any other projector. Glad it worked out for you.

theres still the issue of fitting a shroud around them w/o hacking the shit out of them.
