I'm looking to do the projector retrofit but I'm too scared to do it on my current facelift clear headlights. So the plan is to buy some pre-facelift orange lights, install the projectors in them, then sand away the yellow so that they're the same as the facelifts. Then use my current clear corner pieces.

Anyone done this purely by hand yet?
I have done many sets. Starting with 36 grit down to 180 with a drill and sanding discs then 180 to 1500 by hand followed compound and uv protection. With practice it takes about an hour to 1 1/2 per light. If you're not confident doing it on you're own lights buy a scrap set and practice on those first.
Good luck
