first off, those arent HID projectors they are cheap ones that are meant for halogens (yes they are different). also im not fond of all of the extra crap, like LEDs and halos. If mine end up with LEDs itll be Audi style, with a white strip of them under the projectors.

theres two parts to installing projectors. the rear needs to be secured. I could stop at that (like many people do, and like i did on my last car) or you can finish them by covering all of the ugliness, like in cars that come with projectors, like for example a C6. the fiberglass covers just hide all of the ugly housings and mounting surfaces.

damn your on a roll... what are you going to do with the clear cover itself? our plastic headlight covers suck *****, even when you sand them and try to polish they just don't look clear clear and clean
