    question about Morimoto projector retrofit

    I have a 92 Accord EX coup. I have done a lot of research into projector lighting and a retrofit seems to be my best option. I am going to go with the mini Morimoto with the mini gatling shroud. I've heard two variations on the difficulty and technicality of the project. One said it is one of the easiest retrofits to do. All you have to do is put your headlights in the oven at 200 degrees for 20 minutes brake open the seal, and the lens and shroud fit right out the back of the headlamp opening and you all you have to do is adjust the lens with a swiveling lock nut. The other story I got from U tube. It involved much more work, cutting a V shape in the shroud for the mini reflector that sits in front of the bulb, and removing part of the place where the shroud comes threw the back of the headlight and cutting a weird shape. Not sure what to think. I'm still going to do it either way. I would just like to know how difficult this is going to be. If anyone knows a good place to find LED backlighting (usually have 7 colors to choose from) that would be cool. Thanks, Fly.

    With the minis all you have to do is just bake the stocker(I perfer 225 for about 8 minutes), remove lense, put the mini in and screw on the backing nut-thingy. Bake them again and seal it up. For the full size(3") you have to make custom mounts... I have used the minis on 2 retrofits so far and never had a problem.

    Side note, make sure you have the washers, the first set I did came with 2 rubber washers per light, the second set didnt come with them and got a slight haze... I asume moisture, took them apart and put silicone around where the washers went.
