Destroying the housing is a $230 mistake and not a risk I am willing to take again. I have 2 sets of headlamps so I won't be without while they are getting retrofitted.
Truth, the OEMs are a complete bish with that ridiculous permaseal. I did OEM housings on my dad's F150 and you just have to take your time, go slow, and pay attention to the heat. They came apart fine though with time.

Those retros look great, and it is nice to see that more people are going the projector route instead of just dropping HID's into reflectors.

Truck looks great.
