Haven't quite got very far... I'm just wondering how you retrofitters remove the oem projector? I can see screws behind the shroud but cant remove the shroud. Any suggestions?

If the halogen shroud is anything like the HID shroud, it should have 3 clips holding it on, one at the top in the middle, and two at the bottom, one on each side. Just unclip them and it should pull off. The halogen projector is held into the frame with 3 screws, 2 at the top and one at the bottom.

What did you do to remove the front lenses? How will you put them back and have them completly sealed for no leakage?
That's what I need to do to get mines cleaned out.
Is it complicated?
Thanks for the info.

There's 3 screws that connect the black cover to the clear lens. Remove those, then bake in the over for 15mins at 200 degrees. It pulls apart but you have to work your way around and unhook the clips. Not for the feint of heart.

The advantage to the heat gun is you only heat up the rear section where the lense meets the housing. Once you heat up a a corner and it starts to pry apart you run the heat gun to the next section and presto.
I can personaly pull apart an IS headlight in about 5-10 min. with my gun once I unscrew the hardware that needs to come off.
