For mine, I used a rubber grommet and silicone to seal the back of the headlight. I'm sure he did something similar to that.

great job doing the retrofit. this project reminds me of the TFX projector conversion on E46 M3 (TFX = TSX lens + FX35 projectors)

Hate that look no offense to any one that has done it, but I think it makes the car look as if it has a pair of APC headlights.

Nice sharp cutoff. I have S2000 projectors in mine, and I absolutely love them!

Would you be providing the Projectors or would I need to source them for you?
