Okay, I'm having a hard time installing the retrofit projectors into the headlight. I have everything apart now and I'm trying to figure out how to mount the projector to the headlight. The instructions on the BuyHID's site are not matching up to what I have. I have the wire threaded into the hole where the reflector was mounted, and I have the projectors in the headlight. There is a nut with a bunch of notches, and then a bunch of odd looking spacers and washers in a parts bag. I don't know what order to put the spacers, washers, nuts, etc to mount the projector.
BuyHID doesn't have a contact phone number for help, is there anyone that has contact info for mkulrey13, or keiserX13?
Oh yeah, and I don't understand how the halo's mount to the projector or how to wire them. I thought they would be part of the projector kit but they are separate pieces.

you can PM US! but ill answer your question here
Your parts bag, you only use the thin metal washer and thin rubber gasket. Throw away the large metal and rubber peice. Now, OEM headlights, if you look on the back.. It has fins, they need to be sanded down so there flush. You ONLY need to do this on the back side. If you slide the metal washer into the back side of the reflector it only goes so far and then hits these fins. Once you sand down those fins take the small rubber gasket and put it on the threaded part of the projector so its all the way on, now insert projector into bulb hole. Take the metal washer and slide it on, The grove part of the projector faces up. Now take the nut and spin it on. Needle nose pliers are easiest ive down to tighen the nut once your fingers cannot do it anymore. a trick i do to make the washer go on is before you insert the projector, take the washer and slide it on as far as it will go and wiggle it till its all the way on then take it off. This will shave any little parts of metal in the way. Blow on it to clear the shavings before installing.
BTW if you noticed the instructions on the website are for the old projectors..
Any help, HIDPlanet.com has great info!

If I knew it was going to be different, I would have taken pictures.....
I will say this, the kit looks great so far, quality pieces for sure! Once I get over my installation hick-ups (which is just my inexperience with this...) I'm sure it will be great!

Okay I got the mounting done.... How do I attach the Halos, and where do they go? They are mounted on the outside of the projector shroud, right? What do you recommend mounting with?
