By the looks of it it looks like the projectors go in head first from the back not the front of the shroud(?).

Sucks that your being left with a sour taste in your mouth X.. but your definitely keeping your cool about all of this, and that I can definitely respect.

i need a spare piece for the bezel, i just need to figure out which side, i'll call Matt in a bit to see which one it is. You see it in the video, its part of what helps aim and hold the bezel in place with the housing. I see the cutouts from Rogers pics, i guess i'll have to bring my dremel up to CT. You're right i think this thread will turn into complete win because either Matt or I will learn to retrofit in the end of it all, with the help of everyone of course.

it looks like the projector was put in from the back, not threw the front.

It can't go in from the back, it wouldn't fit. It would stick out of the back of the headlight something terrible. I think you just have to jam it in there, you may scratch the paint, but hey, that's what sharpies are for!

If there's a will, there's a way. I'm sure you guys will figure it out.

If you need some help, hit me up. I would have gone up to CT for the meet, but I still didn't get my axle issues fixed yet.

Also, if you need that mounting point for the bezel, let me know. I got my spare set of JDMs sitting in the basement since I'm not gonna be using them. I'll crack em open and get whatever you need, then just give me the part whenever Alex finds it.

If Alex can't figure out how to get it mounted without damaging the paint, you probably won't have to make cuts as aggressive as Roger did. Just make note of where everything's getting stuck, and cut a little out at a time until it fits. It would probably also be easier to cut out the back bottom edge and insert it through there like Roger did (that's what she said lol).

because i'm not trying to intimidate him about it, or force him to finish a job he doesn't want to do because it involved other aspects that sadly got in the way of this project.

I just wanted to try and NOT touch or modify more than what he had already done if it was possible since apparently he had already got them in once before so i didn't wanna hack more or have Matt attempt something when both of us obviously have never done anything similar to this before. He had them in, i tried getting them but they wont go in without forcing, it's just about trying to find out how, but only he knows.

But if we can't i guess we'll have to take rogers approach, i'm just thankful of the help of you guys

Thanks Nick!, i'll hit u up once i find out which side! That's perfect because at least you're not too far from me. If Alex doesn't find it, i'll be glad to pay you for it.
