use a dremel and slowly carve away until the projectors sit flush and as far back as you want them. i havent done a retro yet but when i do theres going to be a lot of carving, testing, carving, testing, ect.

I really wish i had of did a wright up , but i sadly did not, the only advise i have for you is take your time measure 3 times before you cut. It so worth it
here is a link to the pics i did take http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/album.php?albumid=419

I'm using the first versions that came out. I used these on my Honda Accord with and the car got totaled. So I'm gonna reuse them for the maxima.

If you're using the Mori's, then there really shouldn't be any cutting. easy install.
