Finally started my retrofit project *UPDATED AGAIN HELP NEEDED*
After hours and hours of soldering, heatshrinking, taping, crimping, and wiring, i finally finish my first wire harness from scratch. woot *pad on the back*. Also mod my ballast with male disconnect.

My first wire harness, now just need to wait til the morning to test it out.

Denso Ballast with male disconnect, easiest part of the work i did today. all i did was cut, strip, crimp, tape, heatshrink, and more tape.
This is what happen, when a noob try to solder.

don't know if you can see, but the flat side(what i started with) is not like a hole full with soldering wire.
Update tommorow when i take out my headlight, rip it apart, and try to fit everything together. also doing an angel eye DIY, don't know how everything is going to turn out.
Wake up this morning, took out the front bumper, and took out both of my headlight. also hook up my wire harness to battery and test out my projector. and it works!!! here is some pictures


tyc projector

all bulbs out and ready to be baked and tear apart.
AHHHH! i am stuck at aiming. i don't know how i am going to aim it. any idea on how to aim a valeo in tyc? or how to proper mount it as well. the projector is mounted by the 2 bottom adjuster bolts. and no matter how i try, it just now going down. i am driving with low beam that look like high beam. HELP IS NEEDED

i got the 5mm nuts and finally tie them down, but now i still don't know how to tie them so they aim down a lot more. right now the cutoff is at exactly where my high beam is. Will bending the shield help? or i need to know how to aim the projector down, because no matter how i do it its still aimming at the same place as without the nuts. help needed thanks

yea thats wt i did, i got a total of 8 nuts, 4 on each side, 2 on each bolts, 1 under, 1 above the projector. i just don't know how to screw it in so the it acutally will force the projector to aim down. do i need to cut some parts off from the back or off the projector. cus the furthest i can go, the back of the projector seems to be force down by the tube part for the low beam (the tube like at the back of the headlight with rubber thingy to cover over it) should i cut some off cus the headlight cannot go down more when its restrict by that tube thing. any help will be good. please help, everything is done just stuck on the aimming part.
so did u tight both nuts (front of projector and behind) goal is when u turn the screw from behind the housing make sure that nut is not turning with it if it does then your projector won't move its not gone do noting.... when it dont turn then u will see your projector moving.. good luck dude.
look for gearbox he post the pic back of his headlight, you tie the back of the projector pulling up from back that should bring the front part down... let me seee if i can find his pic...
