first we need to remove the lens from the housing.

you can do two things.

1.Use a heat gun.

2.Put the headlight in the oven.This requires you to pre-heat the over at 200 degress.once it's hot ,you will turn off the oven,put the headlights for about 2 minutes.{use leather glove,cuz it's hot.}seperate the len and housing.done.

Now you can remove the orange reflector.There is one small philips screw holding the inter trim.Unscrew it.The orange reflector is glued to the trim.You can pop it off with a flat head screw driver.

Need to make brackets to mount on the OEM location.This way you can aim the projector with aimming screws.NO GLUE WILL BE USED ON THIS XENON RETROFIT.
