The RF issue is an interesting one. My headlights use the FX-R projectors, and create no RF noise. My fog lights have the DS2's, and they do make RF noise. It only affects radio stations that are on the edge already, but it's there. They sold a 'filter' I think they called it, and it didn't fix it. I am sure it's the harnesses, not the lights, but I honestly haven't looked at the differences.
The FX-R is bigger. The DS2 you can fix through the OEM bulb hole, but the FX-R requires more surgery to the housing. So I am guessing that surgery moves the projector forward in the housing, closer to the front cover, creating more space behind the assembly. It's still tight, don't get me wrong. Putting those in is one of the most frustrating things I've done on the truck...
The RF issue shouldn't be a problem unless I use my Amateur Radios, since I only use the FM now, I am, again. hoping for the best and no interference.
In the Ranger application the D2S will need major remodeling of the Housing to fit.
The back needs to be cut and the bolt holes need to be drilled; I wish it was just the Bulb Hole Mounting Method.
As I mentioned, I found an Alignment Jig and hoping it works, just for one set of lights.
I went on the TRS Site and watch "TRS Matt" go through his videos and checked out the FX-R's, they are a lot bigger.
Since you used the FX-R and didnt cut the Radiator Support, the D2S's should fit without any trimming.
Thanks for your input, any other points of interest would be appreciated.
Thx / Ltr
