    ok, trimmed the back of my housing and the inside bowl.
    and now i just fitted my projector inside and found that I can't hold my H1 bulb properly in place...
    also, i don't know how to make the back of the bulb water proof so that water won't to back in the projector. Thank guys.

    Do you have the wrong bulb size?... If your gonna try and make it water resistant try using some kind of silicone or sealer.

    And the thing is I forgot to map out my original halogen cut off on the wall,
    so now i don't know where to align my cut off.
    Does any have the measurements of this? (like how far i should set my car and how high the beam should be and where should the cut off meet..) Thanks

    Did you figure this out? Sorry I wasn't here. I'm not entirely sure what the problem is, cause everything looks fine to me.

    I got the projector alignment and mounting all figured out now, and now i just have to reseal my headlight housing.
    However, after I disable my DRL and connect the HID, my front left yellow parking light stopped working, but it does blink when i use the left turn signal. I cant figure out why? >_<

    Maybe just the parking filament of the bulb is burned out. check by taking the working one and putting it into the bad bulb socket

    Yes. That's why when you have your headlights on, the corner lights are dim, then you hit the turn signal, and they flash brighter. Two filaments yo.
