Modifying the headlight reflectors, aka the point of no return is one of the most important steps in a retrofit using a full-size set of projectors.
******************************
There is no real science to this process other than the old adage of "measure twice, cut once"
Size up your projectors, compare that to the reflectors where they'll be going, make some reference lines, and go at it with your Dremel tool.
You'll want to start small and work your way up to the properly sized/shaped hole until the projector sits just right in the housing.
******************************
Tools required:
- Dremel tool
- Cutoff wheel/rotozip bits
- Safety glasses
- Work gloves

"they are pretty delicate. they wont break really easily". huh?
Wtf. Finish the video 🤬
What do you mean?
@@RetrofitSource Mount the projectors permanently. I've noticed a lot of retrofit videos don't show this. But it's hard to purchase a kit from you all without knowing the hardest step for the diy people.
I just watched the M-LED one which is probably the best you'll get with JB weld to secure it. I haven't found one with bolts.
@@PrinceNeverLazy I 10000% agree with this.
No one ever talks about the paint steps! What type of paint, color, primer etc. This drives me crazy! I can't find one video on it!
Does the mini matchbox fog light projectors come with mounting plates for 880 bulbs?
What would You recommend for ME?
I drive a golf Mk1 with quad headlights.
Absolutely!
i have a question the reflectors only go on on each side right?
Check out some of our newer retrofitting videos, They are very in-depth!
I’ll buy you a house if you’ll be my neighbor lol 😂
Hmmm... Tempting!
I find a hole saw works great for this
that's brilliant
You stopped at the end washing the relector. Is there a part where you fit the projector in and mount it in?
Check out some of our newer retrofitting videos, They go in depth on the whole process.
TheRetrofitSource Inc I’m not seeing anything about mounting the projector into the modified dremmeled reflector like screwing it in and stuff. That’s about the only part I don’t understand so far. Appreciate the help :)
@@RetrofitSource Agreed. Once they're mounted I can take it from there.
@@b6_ruby the M-LED video was good if you want to use jb weld. But you can't take then apart and sell them later if you do that.
