Need HELP from Bi-Xenon Retrofitters
For those of you that did the bi-xenon retrofit, how did you guys close up the gap between the projector and the housing?
I have the E46 Bi-Xenon Projectors installed. They have the solenoid that sticks out a bit on the bottom.
I want to close it up in a way there it won't mess up the solenoid.
Pictures would be a great help!!

Aluminum tape can do wonders, but if you're depending on it for weatherproofing as well it won't cut it by itself. Although I did get away with just doing several layers of it on the back of my foglight retrofit, but I wouldn't reccomend it without silicone or something as stated above.
