every person for themselves.
but yeah, that's the way i would do it.
but if your going to do a retrofit to a oem headlight, dboule/triple check everything, try to use the originaly adjusters.
i've done 1, don't wanna do one again.
lol

so is it like a grommet?? why would you adjust angel eyes at any rate isnt it fixed like on OEM head lights

OEM headlights are NOT fixed, they have adjusters.
it's like a gear.
it will change the angle of the reflector.

and alot less work, but be careful of which projectors you use, as they physically may be too big for it.

In the process of doing this, well getting everything i need for it. Went with TYC Projector headlights and looking to get a Bosch HID Kit (Projector, ballast, bulb, ignitors), the Bosch package seems quite good for a "kit". Still deciding on whether to get the bosch kit or source OEM parts.
