I know this seems like a given common sense type of question but did you bake the lights in the oven or hit it with the blow dryer?

Once I get my stockers prepped for the Valeo's Ill post a pic of the fitment so you can understand our conversation last night a little better. It's a crazy custom modification but I think its going to turn out ******* awesome.

Here is what I am having to remove from the reflector bowl to get the A4's to fit. The pencil'd circle is my outer diameter of the projector seat.
