DESCRIPTION

The E46-R Extended projector shrouds offer a heightened version of the classic E46-R design, catering to those who prioritize size in their retrofitted headlights. Inspired by the iconic BMW E46, these shrouds boast a 10mm increase in height compared to the standard model, along with a full-circle arrangement of dimples on its face. Crafted from premium-quality plastic, they feature exceptionally durable metalized chrome finishes, ensuring longevity and resistance to deformation even under the heat of a 35W HID bulb. While Centric Rings for improved installation and JB Quik Weld for secure mounting are recommended accessories, the shrouds also provide compatibility with LED Halos for further customization. Additionally, their plastic construction facilitates easy trimming to accommodate various projector setups, with the recommended tool being a Dremel hand tool equipped with EZ Lock cutting wheels.

INSTALLATION DOCUMENTS

E46-R Extended: An extended version of the original E46-R shroud, for those who believe that size does matter. Inspired by the BMW E46, enhanced for retrofitters. Compared to the standard E46-R, The "Extended" version is 10mm taller in overall height and has the dimples arrayed around it's face in a full circle.


In Comparison: Don't make the mistake of thinking all shrouds are created equal. Even though less expensive alternatives may be available elsewhere: Morimoto shrouds are made from the highest quality plastic and have by far the most durable metalized chrome finishes. The cheap-o's out there are flimsy enough to deform from the heat just a 35W HID bulb, and their chrome finish easily flakes off.


Mounting: Centric Rings are not included by default, but are highly recommended to improve ease of installation on many projectors. The Centric Rings are simple reducers that clip into the shroud to reduce the inside diameter, making them more of a "press fit" onto the lens holder of the projector. JB Quik Weld is also recommended in order to prevent the shrouds from vibrating loose over time.


LED Halos: Are a unique and effective way to further customize the look of your projector retrofit. The Profile Pivot (switchback) and Profile Pixel (RGB) systems are easy to mount on the front of your shrouds, are reliable, and of course awesome looking. To determine which size is best for you - check out the size-guide in the "In Action" images section below.


Trimming: Please note that trimming shrouds is a common task when retrofitting. Whether required to clear part of the projector, or fit within the geometry of your headlight housing; it's normal. Luckily, they're made of plastic - making that easily possible. We recommend a Dremel hand tool with EZ Lock cutting wheels to make the job easy.

OEM look and quality, but not for E46

by

The extended version looks really nice and mimic the OEM E46 shroud very well. However, it made a mistake ordering them to fit my 2005 E46 sedan. Turned out they won't fit directly unless you are willing to do some trimming to the shroud. Had to replace this set with a regular E46-R set. TRS is nice enough to allow me to place the order for the exchange set before sending the old set in. Another thing to note is that the chrome coating can be rubbed off if you clean it TOO hard. However, I think it is not a particular problem with this shroud, the chrome coated OEM reflector bowl is also subject to this same kind of problem. Just be gentle when you clean them after installation and they should look nice on your car for a long time.
