As the days get shorter, the Zenki gets driven less and less. Something needs to be done about these head lights. The company cars I daily usually have HID lights; when I hop into the Zenki and turn on the head lights it makes me laugh and cringe at the same time. Time to fix these unbearable lights. I've been browsing theretrofitsource.com and have it narrowed down to 3 options.

Mini H1

Mini D2S

M LED

This means the projector low beam is not aligned with the reflector high beam and it's unlikely you're able to aim the projector low enough using the original aiming system. Then you run into ballast connector clearance issues with the original rear housing and boot. It really just has to be done the hard way in order for everything to look good and work in unison.
The M LED is not available in the 9003 style. This shouldn't be a problem for me because I'll be forced to cut up the reflector and headlight housing regardless of the projector option I choose, correct?

From my understanding, I'll need to cut the reflector on the red line to be able to level the headlight correctly. Then I'll need to cut the headlight housing on the blue line to provide enough room for the bulb connector. How on earth can I reseal the cut areas? It won't matter when the car is sitting in the rain but driving in rain will force water to run down the back of the headlight housing.
