dont matter, saran wrap would work too lol, unless you need to reshape the front to fit the projector?

Re: Got some real projector lenses now want to retro fit them into a head lamp

ive got the same thing thing planed for my 91 camaro. you can get cheap housing off ebay with glass lenses. you just cut the back off the housing and mount the projector in it. heres a good write up from TGO. they use the same 4x6 headlight.
