I super glued the tab at the top of the AE to the housing and then put a drop of superglue on each of the wires.

I drilled 2 holes in the topside of each of the housings just large enough to pull the connectors through. I had some 'plugs' left over from the roof rack delete that I cut the sides off and then siliconed in. Grommets would be better but it will probably be necessary to cut a slot to get the wires in the center because the connectors on the angel eyes may not pull through the grommet.

When you get ready for your AE project let me know. I have some tips to avoid the problems I had or caused myself.
If you could highlight your problems that you faced/caused yourself I can address, what happened?

Sounds great, the AE's look perfectly mounted, I will be doing the same. My rings are on my basement bench I am just waiting for my EvoXR projectors and new shrouds, my finished product will look slightly different than yours but you definitely have set a benchmark.

Did you polish/sand the lenses or are they just in awesome shape all the time like that?
