You can look at Home Depot, just rig something up with a little welding and some metal cutting so that the aiming bolts still hook up to the projector. Just takes a little creativity.

So you got the Euro Spec Valeo HID Package for $425.99 US? Dude, that's not expensive at all... thanks for the link!

BTW... how are you gonna mount the projector in the housing and still be able to adjust it?

ive got a couple ideas...

1) New mounting plate...
2) Cutting Valeo Projectors and JBWelding them onto TYC Adjusting Plate
3) Making diff holes, and being able to adjust
4) JBWeld the ****er in (wont be able to aim after) - = Bad LOL

i couldn't wait for the harness, so i powered up these bitches with my 5500k, the light may look odd because the base for the h1 was too small for it, so it wasn't sitting properly

i am still not sure how i am gonna do this, the thing is so big, it goes into the parking light's spot

first pic is high beam, 2nd pic is low beam

actually you should be blinding anybody cause you got the right projectors and will be aiming them right so the cuttoff will be just under blinding..... so you should say that you will be almost blinding us all

I retrofitted Audi s4 HID's into my Sonar projecters on my 03 'vic. I removed the Halo over the low beam and put it over the high beam with 2 upgraded T1 LED's (much brighter). DOT standards say that your cutoff line with HIDs should be no more than 2 inches below or above the height of the center of bulb itself at a distance of 25 feet away. If you are within those guidelines, you're legal. Just park 25 ft from a wall and go from there. Wait till you see what they do to freeway signs.
