    OK, So i placed projector in housing and placed in bracket and put on car. Kinda answered my own question in reference to being aligned properly. So just like LS1 stated, will have to shave a lil to make it sit outwards. Question I had in respect to grinding on one corner of the projector bowl, is that when not ground, that corner seems to be resting on bottom of housing therefore making the shutter sit horizontally crooked in respect to reflector grid lines running horizontally across back of housing. So im trying to get the flat part of bowl on top and bottom to line up horizontally equal so that the shutter and projector would sit horizontally correct, or am I thinking to much, lol. Is it just the way you took your pics, but why does it seem your horizontal line on the wall is crooked in respect to the floor?

    I haven't done my final fit, so I can't comment on the grinding part. I know mine is close, but I all the info I have accumulated says nothing about it. And I'm still unsure of how the alignment should be, so I will let others advise on that.

    You like them lines? LOL

    I have to work on these in my kitchen, and I don't have the time to do it all at once, so I made a cardboard jig for the counter and wall that I can remove. The headlight housing sits flat on the counter, and the felt pen line on the wall is the stock beam.

    Go here for pics....
