If you look at the very first pic, you'll see the plastic ring/lens housing which snaps into the projector shroud. The LEDs are mounted into that...

Or did you mean the projector itself? It mounts into the low beam bulb socket. I didn't take many pics during the install, but here is one. You can see the threaded portion of the projector that passes through the original low beam socket and the large nut that threads onto it. On the front side(side facing the original reflector) there is a thick silicone grommet(about an inch thick) that conforms to the shape of the reflector and serves as somewhat of a shock absorber, allowing the projector to move a tiny bit under stress(bumps in the road).

If I recall, you were a fan of the LED eye-liner that some of us have on our cars.
You know that's also an AUDI thing right?
