    i picked up some retrofit headlights off a member here about 5 years ago. They still work great but the problem is that the headlight housings have seen better days. Is it possible to just remove the retrofit bowl with the projector attached and mount that into a new housing?

    I have some depo lights still boxed up. Was gonna swap the lenses but headlight adjustment bolts are striped on mine. Just wondering if I could swap the bowl with the projector into the depo lights without having to modify it. My passenger light sits higher than the driver cause the adjustment bolt is stripped and now I keep blinding people. Would like to fix that.

    Oh, I see. I'm not sure my man.

    Seems doable, but I've yet to crack my headlights open.
