Tools of the day; 3 sizes of flathead screwdrivers and a knife. [IMG]http://chrisb.users.superford.org/Grand_Prix/Projects/HID_Headlights_Projector_Retrofit/Headlight_Retrofit_020.JPG[/IMG] For this light I did 250* for just over 27 minutes. I was slow in prying the lens off, so I had to put it back in the over for another 4 minutes.

[IMG]http://chrisb.users.superford.org/Grand_Prix/Projects/HID_Headlights_Projector_Retrofit/Headlight_Retrofit_037.JPG[/IMG] I had to head out, so I put the lights in some spare brackets and will to an "in car" test later. [IMG]http://chrisb.users.superford.org/Grand_Prix/Projects/HID_Headlights_Projector_Retrofit/Headlight_Retrofit_038.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://chrisb.users.superford.org/Grand_Prix/Projects/HID_Headlights_Projector_Retrofit/Headlight_Retrofit_039.JPG[/IMG] In car test; confirmed to be tilting low to the right and angled to far to the right.

Holding the projector in the housing; I was able to get it sitting where it needed to be. [IMG]http://chrisb.users.superford.org/Grand_Prix/Projects/HID_Headlights_Projector_Retrofit/Headlight_Retrofit_045.JPG[/IMG] This is how the stem of the projector needs to sit. [IMG]http://chrisb.users.superford.org/Grand_Prix/Projects/HID_Headlights_Projector_Retrofit/Headlight_Retrofit_046.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://chrisb.users.superford.org/Grand_Prix/Projects/HID_Headlights_Projector_Retrofit/Headlight_Retrofit_047.JPG[/IMG] July 16/2013 After doing a little research, I found that my issue was the shroud not being trimmed enough. I also had to trim a bit off the projector housing. After hitting the hi-spots, I was able to get the alignment that I needed. The "hot spot" needs to come down/right a little, but I now have that adjustment.
