Retrofit time!
did you happen to take any pictures of how the projector is installed to the bezel/projector bowl?

Thanks!
Thanks! Here is one with me standing to the left of the car..
Thanks! The luxurymods brackets really make the job easy. This should give you an idea...
The bolts that I used are actually longer at the top than the bottom ones. I was playing around with it and it worked out. You will need to do something similar to push the projector further out into the bezel. I had to trim the bezel a little around the blinker because it was hitting the shroud.
You have the main parts already. You just need to source the screws and nuts and get it done.
Check out the previous picture to give you and idea. I couldn't make the solenoid fit for the bi-xenon because it was hitting the back of the housing. I probably could have came up with something but i'm happy with the results.

I had these previously in mine! I was probably the 2 nd guy guy with retro on a gs 3 years ago. You will like the output I got m45s retro now! It fills the headlight nicely

Nope, the luxurymods brakets are just that, a bracket. It's not a complete kit, you must source the proper screws and nuts for the light you will be using. The problem is most local hardware stores don't have a good enough metric thread selection, and all these projectors are metric. This is why op had them tapped. You can use the closest sae size slid thru with two locknuts if you can't find metric or don't want to tap them.
