need help with retro's
alright i have an 07 cobalt that im retrofitting. so far i got the holes cut. question: how do i get the projecter;s to stay in? and how do i make sure they are the same depth? pics:




center your projectors, mark and drill holes for the bolts.
see how there are bolt holes in all 4 corners of your projectors?
insert a long enough bolt with a spring inbetween the projector and reflect and finish off with a fly nut on the back end of the reflector.

really Im not sure.You might have to eyeball it or maybe put them in the housings temporarily,put lights in them and get them centered that way.My projectors are way different then yours :/
thats the hard part of retrofitting 
easiest thing to do is to figure out your own way tomount them. Screws are best (its what factories use....) but I know some people use very quicksetting adhesives and glue them in place. You would just hold it in place aimed while the glue sets up

Please dont take this as an attack,, but it sounds like this may be a bit over your head.
No if you epoxy the projectors in place you wont be able to tweak the cutoff. If you want to be able to adjust the cutoff oull need to make custom mounting brackets.

Ive got a set of brand new set of 3000k or 4300k Morimoto bulbs and brand new Morimoto 5Five ballasts I can sell for $135 shipped, or for $115 with barely used 3Five ballasts, let me know
These are the projectors I have.G3.They have a wingnut type fastener that holds them to the reflector.A little more simple to mount.They use a single beam hid but have a shutter inside for hi beam low beam.
