If any one was wondering. I just measured the KS lights and it's about 1.50-1.75 inch lower than the OEM height.

Are you selling the shrouds by themselves or making a kit? What pricing are you thinking?

Saw the mini GB for the CF shrouds, but I am waiting on the FG ones. Still curious as to how the brackets are coming along.

Problem with the Knightsport kit is they are a 100mm light. I have yet to find quality 100mm projectors for driving lights.

Ideally the shrouds should have a tad smaller holes to A) let the lights be a tad 'sleepier' and B) account for a 90mm light.

David your headlights are fantastic and i would jump on the kit in heart beat if it ever became a headlight, but with limited tools, working space, and having to move in a moments notice because im in the army its difficult to start a project like that myself.
