Here is how I retrofit HID kit through the seal




All wires went through grommet





I cut wire insert it in the pre-drill hole on grommet. I used head to seal to secure everything after reconnect wire





Here is how I mounted the ballast





Close up





Testing and do comparison

I just did HID retrofit not upgrade LED yet because I have no time.
As for using LED as DRL, it's simply run a wire from ignition 2 to power up LED ( I Will update it shortly) didn't have much time to do it by the time I was document for cut off light and correcting projector error.
WILL UPDATE THIS thread really soon about the problem I have been through.

I just got mine, what a big difference it makes the front look. I notice the light output isn't as bright as oem but decent (sorry about the dirty car just got back from a trip)

wow they got so close with these...why didn't they make the ring around the projector chrome? They would have been more acceptable if it was chrome like OEM

I really like these but why is the light output so high? and how far down can you adjust them? My buddy had some EBAY headlights and what made it annoying was even though he had the projectors adjusted all the way down, it was still pretty high which compromises the over all light output. Can you adjust it to be an an OEM level and then retake pictures?

The out put so high because it's not mounted on the car yet. I just connect harness to power it and point right above OEM for comparasion
You need minor adjustment when it installed
