Did you ever end up doing the other lens? And was it difficult to open up the housing itself? I would like to try to do this myself, but I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to properly position the projector itself the right way. Does that make sense?
Yes I finished the second one shortly after the first.



It was not difficult to open the lens. I used the oven to soften the glue.

The positioning of the projector took some time but it wasn't too difficult.

Be prepared for a $300-$400 project if you don't already have the headlights

Head over to hidplanet.com. They have loads of info on projector retrofits. This is where I learned all the info needed to do a project like this.

This is correct. I think with the headlight housings, projectors, HID kits, turn bulbs, wires, relays, connectors etc I easily spent $350-$400.
