PHID & Top Gun Brackets | |

| {Regarding above photo:) Initial PHID placement on existing Top Gun PIAA brackets. This looks pretty good from this angle. A tight fit, mounting them upright like this. Still, this affords a cleaner-looking install since they are snugged up under the mirror stalk. The PHIDs mounted upright like this look considerably more "factory".

Ignitor body and emerging side connector get pretty damn close to the mirror stalk, but they don't touch. Whew!

| {Regarding above photo:) While I initially didn't care for the way the PHID bracket must reside so "outboard" on the Top Gun brackets, the fact is, these PHID lamps weigh exactly half as much as the PIAA 910 lamp (15 7/8 ounces, vice the 910's lamp weight of 2.0 lbs), so there is not much of a "moment-arm" factor. Too, it must be this way or the side-emerging connector (rather, the rubber boot portion of it) as well as the blue ignitor body itself will both strike the mirror stalk. None of this would be an issue if I wanted to hang the PHIDs "downward" like the 910s.

{Regarding above photo:) Close-up of the holes, and another view of the PHID bracket that "hangs over" the outside of the Top Gun bracket. I purposely elongated the holes I drilled in the Top Gun so that I now have a very small amount of *horizontal* adjustment ability of the PHIDs as they sit on the Top Gun brackets.
