I'm sure you meant not too much trimming of the oem BEZEL and you're right. But when you add a shroud to the front of the projector, (I'm going with Apollo), I would think you'd have to trim a little more off the oem bezel so you have clearance for adjustment purposes. Can you share any pictures of your past retroes where you put the projector up top?
The apollo is a pretty big shroud. I wouldnt suggest putting it up top. That will require a whole lot of trimming of the projector shroud and oem shroud.
Ive been snowboarding in PA the last few days while my cars still qt the dealer when I get it bad I will resume my project I was looking at the wiring and I thinking it's very possible to achieve what I want to do .
R1 how did u remove all of the original oem shroud to expose te box located behind the bottom shroud. ?
I too agree the shrouds are to flimsy to drill into that's how I have them now , I'd like to make a bracket to have them better attached . I think just attaching to the shroud going over rough roads will crack or damage the shroud

The oem reflector has 2 adjustment screws and one pivot point. Tne shroud just pulls off the pivot point. you will need to just unscrew the adjustment screws all the way out

R1, you may be right about the Apollo, I've been dry testing though and it seems the best equipped to cover the entire projector and old reflector area. It will require some serious trimming but I fail to see how any shroud will not require this and still cover the entire projector body....pics?

\\update,
ive been working on them the last 2 days , i did all the wiring to make it look oem as possible, i wired it so my projector on the bottom is the lo / hi beam
and my oem top xenon works as my fog light.
i aimed them using a 25 feet of distance and adjusted the projector to balance the cut off.
success !!! they work great took some adjusting to get them to be the same i think im 98% -on point with the equal cut off.
i just need to get back now and install the bumper.
