Digital, do you know if the retro-quik kit from TRS will "fit" on the 08+ depo headlights without modification as it would on OEM 08+ headlights? There is a pair of depo's for 180 and a set of OEM's for 250, both on Ebay. I do want to save money..but I really want the process to be as PnP as possible

Thanks for the reply! What's your opinion on retrofitting rx-afs projectors into Depo 08+ brackets with depo buckets? My main concern is about what you wrote in the original post:
"Internal bracket adjuster QC is very poor, it either adjusts freely or hasn't be pressed together right and can move slightly in and out causing the projector to shake over bumps."
Have you experienced any problems with the bracket? I'm wondering if the less expensive option of using Depo headlights is feasible for a retrofit. If not, I might have to suck it up and shell out 350 for new OEM 08+ headlights
. My third option would be to find some decent used OEM's and somehow get Depo brackets from somewhere lol

Only had the adjuster screw problem twice and they replaced the whole headlight at no charge. It can be fixed with a nut and washer to retain it properly though.

FYI- I'm working on a OEM Halogen H11 projector upgrade kit or mod service for people who don't want to retrofit but do want better output from stock. This will upgrade the H11 OEM Halogens to Bi-Xenon, (Hi-Lo) Curved shields (Wider output) and "Black Series" (More Light) clear lens. I hope to have comparison pics soon of the H11's with halogens, HIDs, and then the complete mod. So no modding at all total PnP setup.
