I'm probably gonna do it myself for the same reason as you but it doesn't seem too difficult except for where to aim the projector.

It seems to me like it's a just a difficult 2 step process:
1) Installing the projector https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...ctor-lens.html
2) Hook up the wiring (I'm guessing it's similar to this): https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...-hid-kits.html

Taking off the bumper and disassembling the headlights shouldn't be too difficult.

I'm wondering myself what the tubes of glue included in the projector kits is for. What did you guys use to seal up the headlights after opening them?

It pretty much only goes one way. You can adjust them after from the outside... unless Guiness knows something I don't. (I don't understand how you would adjust anything before they are put back together.)

I just made them straight in the housing, and I can adust the pitch from the back like you do any other Honda light. The angle of mine, like in the pics, can be adjusted by turning the projector from the back (Outside). I think I overtightened mine, which is why the lean to the right. Easy fix, I was just in a hurry.

the tubes of glue are actually butyl...used to seal the headlights back together just in case you don't have enough of it.
i personally and alot of other ppl did NOT use the extra gluey stuff.
if you seperated the headlights pretty well, you can just use throw it back into the oven and it'll seal up pretty well using the black sticky stuff that was originally there

I've send it like last week? It should be on its way la~~~

Here's what I think. You can either install it yourself and messed it all up and end up buying a new headlight and projector, or pay someone to do it right the first time.

Also, if you pay someone, you have the rights to yap at people if theyu didnt do it right. I'll pay someone to do it any day, so long they can do it right.

Reheat butyl that is already on the headlights from when you heated them up.
Push them back together, while applying heat so it will go back together smoothly and without a hitch.

Test fit re-sealed headlights and wire them up, once again AIM IT PROPERLY before putting everything back together. MAKE SURE the lights turn on, and the Angel Eyes work.
