Unhappy S-13 frontend conversion

Just accquired a complete set for the frontend conversion. Some of the tabs on the headlights are missing or broken. How hard will it be to modify or macguyver the missing or broken parts in order to complete this conversion? Has anyone encountered any problems completing their conversion? Need advice on this!

I dont know about opening it because most of the one ive seen have been a bit discolored...might be sun burnt. But if you need to open it you better crazy glue the hell out of it when your finished.

I have an HKS FMIC, no bumper support, I should have just cut the support but its been cold lately.

they aren't EXACTLY the same, but while i was in japan this was the closest i could find. only difference in the h3c and the bulb that came stock for low beam is the globe on it is somewhat shorter. h3's produce good light tho, that is why they are the high beams in the silvia prokectors. here's pics of what i have.


just the h3c's


all of the bulbs


pics are kinda blurry, if you want i can try to take some better ones.
