Default help retrofitting 6th gen

i just did my first retro fit on my 02 accord...luckily i bought a spare housing incase i mess up my stock one. well after i retrofitted it, the headlights aim too high. even if i lower them to the lowest point, they still aim up rather than parallel to the ground. so when i did my retro fit, i placed the projectors on the inside of the reflector rather than from behind so i would get clearance in the back. i also did not screw them in...i jb welded them in. when you guys retro fitted the 6th gen accord, did you mount the projectors from the back or from the front? also how did you guys mount them? i don't have any pictures cause i already did them and i was hoping you guys knew what i was talking about.

this is a general question that i also have...for those of you who have a slanted driveway, i see most of you went to a parking lot that was level and had a straight wall to aim your headlights on so you could aim them. did you guys just drive around with no lense cover? before, my rotational alignment was horrible...

I haven't done an 02 Accord yet, but when I mount projectors, I usually mount them on the front side of the reflector bowls so that I can still allow people to keep their stock adjusters fully functional. I always use mounting screws when keeping the projectors in place.
