Also, I don't think you should blackhouse these. Your car looks amazing. Like it should look leaving the factory so i think an OEM retrofit would be best!
FX35 Retrofit slowly in progress, LOTS of pics

To glue the shroud on to the projector and to seal the back-end of things i use something called automotive goop, I also used the tiniest screw one can think that exists and used it to screw the shroud to the reflector bucket from the top(just some added security to the goop). I stayed away from things such ad JB Weld since i read and heard they it tends to crack during the cold. I added the goop to the back-end and then used some silicone tape to form the shape on how i wanted the goop to dry. The next day i took the tape off and the goop was in the desired shape. From the back i also used this aluminum tape i found at Home Depot that had some sort of grey rubbery sticky part on the inside(not just simple aluminum tape). Lastly i used normal all weather silicone and rubbed it all over the back part of the aluminum tape as an extra layer of protection.

Also, i'm not sure if you can take your projectors apart, but if you can...paint the cutoff shield from the front a color you like. Then when looking at the projector from certain angles it'll appear as if it glows that color.
oh thanks a lot man, I will definitely try that product out when im sealing up!
I was looking at my headlight with projector in it, i might just keep it oem look now lol
I love it!!
Here's how it looks like for now, i haven't sealed it up yet due to waiting on shrouds. The lens could use some work aswell.

As others have mentioned, on your car...it fits in perfect if you leave it as is.

Blackhouse those things for sure man. I would even paint the silver casing that holds the lens. But other than that great job so far.

you could also paint the housing and the shrouds to SSM. For example, moneypits retro.

I was going to suggest this as well, just to do something a little different.

Can you take a picture of the back of the headlight? I am interested in know how far out the back the projector sticks out.
