Hey guys I need some quick advice I am about to try this again with the second headlight and need to make sure I'm mashing in the right spot.

Which number is the best starting point?

And do I push down on the black plastic while holding the lens? Or do I trying to shove my flat head in between the lens and black plastic??

Yea now I have the decision to make: buy more and try again, pay someone, or give up and sell my set up...

Ok, i've read numerous threads. and jotted done notes and have saved links. Ive done my research just have a few questions.....

But I just purchased a TRS Retro kit and will be waiting for its delivery.

D2S
35w
5500K HID
Apoll0 3.0
Motocontrol H13 harness

My question is how are people securing the projector to the housing. Is it just the threaded shaft and some epoxy on the back? I know you have to dremel the housing a bit to get it in there. But, I've yet to see how someone has actually secured it in there. any pics or prior experience please feel free to chime in. Thanks in advance!
