what i have may be kinda questionable but trust me it works pretty well!
Yes i had to cut some material out near the leveler window! but it took me a while to just get it mounted a decent way i have a winner. Due to trail in error i pretty much gutted my right side headlight so i am looking for a set on ebay oem donors. Only way i would have known how to get what i got was trail and era so hopefully someone saw what i did wrong and just do what i did right! Hope this is helpful!

clean up the lens with some blue magic and i took the bezel from from the oem projector which was 3"since the fx is 2.5" need a good way to make up for the clearance it worked out pretty well and i rtv it to the inner housing of the light and a front on image of the clear projector

it was actually easier than i made it i just would say if you are thinking of the retrofit proceed with caution! I couldnt mount them with the mounting points or tabs i had to remove material from the inner working of the housing and the worked it into the perfect position but i really couldnt use bolts or screws but its wedged all the way back in the desired position then i use some adhesive to hold it in place. im debating whether i should put some screws in for extra support but it seemed to line up pretty nice!

It doesn't look like you would be able to adjust the projectors up and side or left to right like this. Am I correct or wrong?

I see, so it's going to be a hit or miss if the cut off are both leveled?
