Hello GMT members. I am taking a second stab at putting HID projectors in my envoy. The first time I did them I did a really shitty job and didn't get the projector installed all the way or aligned properly so the cutoff line was like a u shape and the light was pretty dim on one and bright on the other. So I went ahead and ordered 64mm projectors from futurevisionhid and am going to be getting them soon. It was cool that they threw in CCFL halo's too for me to add onto it which they do not sell. Anyway I am going to be going from my old 42mm to my new 64mm projectors and I want to know how I can remove the reflector bowl on the headlight from the body of the headlight. I have already removed the lens from the body (FYI I did not use a heat gun at all, I used my dremel to grind off the outer lip of the light and then I used a sharp pointed flat head screw driver to stab through the joint and then pry the lens upward a little and break the seal, it is hard but possible) but I want to see if I can remove the reflector bowl from the light housing. I read somewhere on here or on the old forum that the 4 little tabs in the back that stick out you have to grind or do something to them but I can't find that thread. Please note that I want to do this right and make it so the housing locks in firmly like it is now. My aftermarket ones I got from rockauto came loose and the light has a ton of play in them making the lights bounce when I hit bumps in the road and it pisses me off.
So if anyone can possibly link me to the thread on where you can remove the headlight bowl or direct me on how to do them it would be greatly appreciated. Again I just want to remove them so I can get the projectors installed a whole lot easier than to screw around with them through the back housing of the light and I want to be able to reinstall the bowl and make it so the bowl is firm and will not wiggle at all.
Thanks guys!
