I just got around to installing these on a set of Bosch Euro Smileys last week. For the sake of honesty I was let down at the quality of the mounts and the Morimoto kit. Beyond the outlined modifications needed, there are still several modifications to be made as you work through the install. But with the mounts themselves, I had to cut away material from the opening to allow clearance for the M4x10 bolts. I had to cut down length on the longer #8 mounting screws, as they were bottoming out before the adapter was fully seated against the headlight bucket. I also had to clearance one of the mounting holes for the mount to housing as it wasnt centered. And if I had realized the overall mounting method compromises cutoff pattern, I wouldn't have ordered. But that's just lack of research and impulse buying on my part.
Hate to be "that guy" but I expected more from this kit. With rapid prototyping as a resource, I feel as if the amount of modifications to the projector and housing should have been minimal.
If I could do it again I'd figure out a way to retrofit the old fashioned way with nice OEM parts. It's my first time dealing with Morimoto, I was not impressed. As I said before. Modifications were needed with that kit as well.

First off, sorry you had so many issues. I appreciate the honest feedback. I'm going to comment on a few things.
When I made these I had a few goals in mind:
- Minimal modification required
- Waterproof (as much as possible)
- Factory looking projector position
Since the design of the Bosch mounts, which are the oldest of my designs, I've learned a few things. If you were to put the later US and Euro Hella mounts next to my Bosch mounts you could see these differences, especially in the design of the print.

In the end I want you to be happy with the setup. Shoot me a PM and I'll see what I can do to make this happen.

Posted the same on the product page, but wanted to put it here too because I am very happy with the transaction and product.
I wanted to provide some feedback after installing my set.
Bottom line: awesome product.
I read some other user's reviews and noted the "drawback" (if you can even call it one) that the lense gets spaced a few mm from the bulb; the difference is totally negligent IMO and shouldn't be a concern whatsoever. Quality of the parts is top notch. Packaging was great too. Seller was responsive and the items arrived exactly within the time frame that was stated/posted. I couldn't be happier. Installation was completely intuitive and problem free.
The results speak for themselves. I have done a DIY retrofit for my e36 a few years back before people started making brackets etc and the price of this bracket is WELL WORTH not having to DIY a retrofit.
Thanks OP for an awesome product!

Mid October I started talking to the OP about buying some of his HID retrofits and to send my lights to him to do the retrofit and he was very responsive and helpful. I wasn't able to pay right away but he said that wasn't a problem. Then I bought the product and emailed him asking for the proper address to send my lights to and I got no response. I sent a few more emails over the next few weeks and still no response. Then I randomly received a refund a few weeks ago even though I never requested one. I asked for an explanation of everything and like the emails before I still haven't gotten a response. I'm happy that I at least have my money back, but I hate when someone produces a product or offers a service and there is no communication.My Garage
