Help with putting in Euro BMW HeadLamp

What do I need to put in a pair of Euro BMW HeadLamps, the ones with the projector lights. Since the back of them goes out further than the US HeadLamp, what do I need to do to make them fit? What to I need to cut? What to need to hold them down? Can anyone help me?

Jeez! I need to post new pics! I've redone grille, worked on the lights to make them adjustable, made some brows, added blue bulbs (high and low),and removed the stock driving lights for new and smaller projectors!

Thank you guys for helping me. I put the BMW Euro Headlights in today, and it took me awhile to do so. Since these lights go back further than the regular ones, I had to do alot of cutting, but it came out really nice. But the projector lens seems to be aimed a little bit to high, but ohwell, it wont bother me, just the person in front of me.

aim your lights. there is nothing more annoying that somebody who is driving with unaimed lights.

After the problems I decided to go with a complete rebuild of the engine they screwed me with. I'm just taking my time and rebuilding it right. I plan to have it ready for Nopi Natl's. I have a few other tricks up my sleeve too, but my lips are sealed!
