Thread: Retrofit Question

anybody that retrofit the 04 headlights how did you get the reflector out mine is being really difficult

broke my reflector trying to get them to pop off just ordered a new headlight not very happy right now lol thanks for the tip will have to try when it arrives

When I did my D2Ss I didn't remove the reflector.
I mounted it to the shell, cut the reflector and black divider to accommodate the size of the shroud.
I did cut a wee bit too much of the reflector after marking the shroud on it. I didn't account for the difference of base vs projector opening size.
I also had to trim the back of the shroud to sit flush because of the indent on the shell. Also yanked out the adjuster in the process.

sorta finished pic.

I'm also doing the D2S 3.0 when the new headlight arrives if I can't get the reflector out I'll just leave it in

anyone who did the d2s 3.0 did use secure the projector using the lock nut or epoxy it

Sorry for being late to the party but here's the write up from my retrofit a few years ago. Quad Retrofit

Hopefully there's some info in there to help with the whole process if you haven't finished yet (and yes, it's also a gratuitous opportunity to whore my pictures out again). To get the reflector out I just used a large screwdriver and wedged it behind for leverage. With some gentle yet forceful pressure it pops right out. I didn't apply any heat like REDCOMPG did but maybe that helps too. It gets easier to remove each time you install and remove it, I did it probably a dozen times during my project. Good luck!
