I am soo happy now with my new q45 light setup cuz the glass is soo much cleaner...the rubber trim is new...projector is mounted on properly...the back of the headlight is soo clean and stock, etc...and very reliable i must say...cuz before i use to wash my car and condensation 24 7....now with my new setup...no condensation whatsoever 
(props to my new installer )I know everyone in CL thought my old setup was dope...but lets just say i wasnt happy cuz i had to make sure it was raining that day or night 
....but now with my new setup...no worries

I had this done 2 years ago too. I have slight diff where I used i shorter length of pipe to mount on the back. To change the bulbs to have to take the headlight out your car. Also it looks like you had to cut the stock mount to get that long pipe to fit. Another thing I did was mount the projector to the stock reflector. That way I can use the factory adjustment for up and down and left to right. From the pic it looks like the the projector hits the turn signal if you adjust it. I also have to OEM ballasts mounted from the bottom. I will take pics of the back when there off of the car to compare. Theres another Q45 retro coming soon that will use the auto leveler and look exactly the same as OEM. It will even use the stock cover on the back to change the bulbs out.
