You're going to want to take the lens off the stock housing, and cut a hole in the back of the housing to fit the projector, aim everything, then remount your lens on the front. That will keep the water and bugs off your projector, and keep the gap looking stock!

yeah what yeaman said you might not even have to cut the housing in the back if you can heat up the housing you can place it on the inside...and retrofit it like the headlamp retrofits..what kinda projectors are those and what bulbs do you use?

i think they are for a 240 don't remember got them off ebay, they use H11 bulbs too. i see what you guys mean about taking apart the old housing, i'll probably give it a try someday. anyone take the glass off the fog light yet?, i would imagine it's a bit harder then the headlights.
