Test fitting the right light to see how well I cut on the first unit. Looks like I'm going to luck out and will have ZERO cutting of the housing!

The next step is to re-mount the reflector bowl into the housing to check the solenoid clearance. Then, once I've checked for that, I'll install the open housing on the car and set rotation and glue 'em up.

Looks like the solenoid will clear the housing. Next up is pulling the front bumper to mount these lights and set rotational alignment.

Can't wait to see the finished product. Looks great so far! Who said modifications have to go forward sometimes retro is a good thing!
