No flames please.. I genuinely need advise or insight into this.

So i have the Sonar Matrix x2 whatever projectors. I recently purchased a set of 8000k H1 hid kit just to find out the bulb is a tad too thick to fit through the projectors rear opening.

What do I do?

Another reason to why aftermarket kits are.... well, crappy

Not necessarily that problem..

The opening in the projectors housing is like a vertical rectangular shape. The bulb, naturally is round. The round bulb is larger in diameter than the rectangular opening. Any ideas? I might try the grinder tool to open it up a bit more. Nobody has had this problem before?

have to cut it open more so that the bulb can fit inside...

i guess i need to do that.. but no one else has run into this problem? theres no projector I can get that does not require the cutting and fits in the sonar housing? that sucks..

sonar projectors take H3 bulbs (i think?) plz correct me if iam wrong...
TYC projectors take H1 bulbs... Honestly, I think you would run into this problem with both projectors.

yeah, i had h1 hid and i had to cut the metal

take the headlight apart and cut the hole, otherwise you are going to trap a lot of metal shavings inside the light, and even flacks that would reside on the projector, cause poor lighting

I just put different projectors in my Sonars altogether,
