E46 bi xenon retrofit?

I finally decided to go with E46 bixenon retrofit. I did retrofit in the past, but I would appreciate few tips:
-Anyone has pictures of projectors mounted on G35 sedan reflector?I would like to retain the ability to use factory headlight adjustment capability.
-Are there any reference points for near-perfect horizontal mounting?
-What is the proper wiring for solenoids? There' 3 wires-my guess +/- and high beam trigger?


This is what I've ordered...still looking for quality D2S capsules

I will do a full write up with pics once I start the project.

Thank you for all your help!

The E46 projectors aren't the best bixenon, and that 3 wire solenoid setup is a PITA. I'd go with something like FX-R from this site (no personal affiliation).

Looked at yuur pics...how did you align them horizontally? By trial and error?
E46 will do just fine for me. I am quite inclined elctrically and I can wire pretty much anything, but I still thought I'd ask
