pics? i know some dont fit and you need to sand down the hole and use silicon to seal it, or epoxy.

yeah here are the pics.. its not my car.. but those are the same projectors i have.. what i ended up doing was sanding down the sides so i could fit my 1157 bulb in that fits in stock headlights.. finally after a while of doing it the bulb finally went in but now i cant get it to stay since i sanded it.. so what next..

like i said you can use silicon which should hold it on good once it dries, but for 24 hrs you need to make sure the bulb stays in place with some tape or something until it cures. that way if you need to change the bulb, you can force it out and put new silicone. i know it sounds dumb but its your best bet.
