One question for ya guys tho. On my set of projectors, the bottom of the housing the len sorta flares outward about 1.5"'s. Did you have to cut away the black plastic housing AND the lense copmletely flat so the whole housing wouldn't jam against the bumper support? I don't see how you'd fit it without shaving away a LOT of material off of the bottom, but it looks like if you did, you could still seal it and it wouldnt leak.

I dunno why ppl are whining about the gap. I don't even see any worth caring about. There is a slight bit of it on the top slope, and a really slight gap near the fender, but no one would notice unless their head was 2 feet away from it (unlikely, even at shows).

The only thing that I don't like about the look is the third, useless "signal light" that we can't really use. For ppl with bumpers with no turn signal holes, I already test-fitted the OEM bulb socket and it pops right in.

Also, the side-relfector looks out of place. Luckily, if you don't have side reflectors (I think almost all of the MX3 front ends eliminate the sidemarkers) you can just pop your 194-bulb socket into the clear reflector & pow! you have a side-reflector!

Other than that, they look a crapload better than the stock, yellowing, blurry looking "bug-eye" headlights that IMHO are the WORST LOOKING feature of the entire MX-3 exterior design.
