Thanks, I adjusted them a bit higher tonight. They seem to be alright now, before they were just way too low. It would have made my job easier if they did, but it is just a civic. ---

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. Before attempting this project while doing my research I kept reading post from people saying don’t do your retro yourself. I said F that, it can’t be all that hard. Come to find out if you have the tools and some common sense not to mention time it’s pretty easy. Do the research and take your time and you should be fine and will end up with a nice end result. ---

It was getting late and I wanted to get it back together. I didn’t have to cut the housing just the reflector. I just used some waterproof aluminum tape to seal the housing to the back of the projector, if that makes sense. ---
