0:01 Bake the headlight. We use a big carton box with a heatgun. We put the headlight on small boxes so the hot air will be blown under the headlight, not only on one side.
0:09 In this case we use a 500W heatgun for 15 minutes.
0:14 Start to pry the headlight. In this case it is perma-sealed, so the seal doesn't really get soft, you will need to cut the sealing with the screw driver.
0:37 After working a couple of minutes the headlight housing cools down, heat it up again for a few minutes.

2:42 Place the nut to secure the projector.
2:53 Secure the nut using needle nose pliers.

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆:
Retrofitting refers to the addition of new technology or features to older systems. These days there are a lot of people who put a simple plug & play xenon kit in their halogen headlight housing in an attempt to improve night vision and looks of their vehicle. In fact they don’t realize that their headlight beams are often worse than before. Night vision achieves relatively little improvement on night vision because of a poor beam pattern, which increases the blinding of other road users. This is because their headlight housings are designed for halogen and not xenon.

A true Bi-Xenon projector update is now possible for your car. Such an upgrade will significantly improve your light output from 700-2100 lumens to 2800 and 3500 lumens, without blinding other traffic with glare from your headlight. Upgrade your headlight OEM style!

Good luck with your retrofit!
