However, one of the lens isn't clear enough. I used lens restorer on both, but still...
I am wondering is there any better way to do it?

Anyway~ the reason i started this project becasue i ave a friend who lived at my place few years ago, and he left all his projectors (he used to mod headlight a lot). Therefore~ lucky me~, no cost for the projectors!!!

well~still working on mount the projectors, wishing they come out good
 
What temperature and how long did you bake? I did mine for 3 1/2 min at 275 and it melted one of the tabs and i ended up cracking the bottom part of my lense trying to get it off. Another thing is can I paint the area where the blinker goes?
 
I did it is 275 also, but i had the over a little bit open, so it will just warm up a part of the glue.
Therefore, i opened it a bit, and bake, open a bit, and bake again.
