    Did you cut any of the projector itself? When I did mine, two corners needed cut to get mine to sit nice

    No I didn't. Do you recall where you cut? Or have pics? Haven't read about this one before.

    Just looking for GP installs over on HIDPlanet. In this thread ( 2001 retro on a grand prix GTP. - Page 4 ), buddy has a pic of the backside of his housing, and the stem of the projector is well inboard and down compared to mine:





    When I get home, I want to remove the thick gasket between the projector and housing and mess with it that way.

    Last night I removed the shroud and the thick rubber gasket (between projector and housing) to give me more wiggle room. I was able to get the angles and such for correct alignment:





    And this is how the stem of the projector needs to sit:








    I am going to try and make/modify a curved washer with an offset hole.

    4THGENCAMAROFAN, when looking head-on to the projector, you must have trimmed the upper left corner? When adjusting for my cut-off, I noticed the projector touching the headlight housing in this spot; needs a very slight trim.
