black housing won't make a difference to the headlight performance... look at the std new Holdens with projectors - they have black housings.
anyway, update pics:
New LED setup
Attaching old bracket to new projector:
First I tacked on the bracket with "JB Weld" - a 'metal' epoxy
See I had to cut the section of the old bracket between the two screw holes so that I can access the screw that holds the cut-off shield in place on the new projector bowl:
Then I adjusted it to level (by eye, didn't have a spirit level, so will be pissed if it's fixable not within std height / tilt adjustment of the headlight) and let it set
After that I went around and secured the whole bracket with JB Weld. I'm told this stuff is tough as so I won't have any issues. I've used it before on other stuff and given the amount I put on, there is NO WAY the old projector bracket and the new projector bowl are ever going to part company - they're joined forever...
Tonight and over the next few days I'll prepare the chrome cover to be sprayed matte black, and attach the new parkers into the cover
cheers
