Mot, the pic shows the bottom of the headlight. The ballast is under the headlight, cover down, and cover sealed with silicone just to make sure no water enters. The projector is glued with some type of yellow glue which is very strong and a bit flexible, and on top of that is a layer of silicone to ensure that if for whatever reason the glue lets go, the assembly is still sealed and still holds. Oh, and there are also two rivets somewhere there, so it's solid.
I had to cut off te whole back of the headlight as the HID projectors are much bigger and deeper than the ones the lights came with. This is no bi-xenon, but just a good Toyota projector (part no. 16337). They are used in Camry and some Lexus models (also in Avensis in Europe). The ballasts are Koito-Denso, so basically what you see is an OEM setup LOL.
I will need a few days to write the whole story, but I can tell you now that the job is tough and needs lots of patience but it's worth it. Once I switched to HID I realized how crappy the fluted headlights were. Compared to other fluted-lens lights, the cruiser has 'good' lighting but if we compare it to HID... oh maaaan... It's like coming out of a cave into broad sunlight.
