Default JDM Headlights and HID help.

What's up HT, got a quick question. I just bought a McCulloch 8000k plug and play kit for my eg. I have jdm headlights and I was wondering what's the best way to modify your headlight housing to make the bulb's fit? Any links or suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance.

Here's a better idea:

Don't put PnP HIDs in a headlight with a fluted lens. PnP HIDs have horrible scatter due to the fact that you're putting a rebased D2R bulb into a halogen reflector housing. Also, at 8000K, you're going to have annoying blue headlights that will give you less viability. And top all that onto a fluted lens, which reduces your output even more.

You're about to cut up an expensive and relatively "rare" set of headlights to put in a crappy HID kit that's going to **** everyone on the road off, and make it so you can see less of the road.
