Still debating on which method to use. And... how deep should the projector be inside there? Kinda worried the side distance would be cutoff if I shove it too far in.

And also, I kinda noticed a slight gap of like 1mm between the two peices of the projector, dunno if I should worry about light leaking outta there. Slightly more gap on the bottom (2mm?) now since i added some washers on the bottom

The way I did it was four bolts through the reflector only. Then cut them off so they fit back into the housing. That way you can seal the back just like factory with only slight mods to the rubber boot.

I didn't use any spacers to square the back of the reflector. I double nutted them and epoxied them to fill any gaps and keep them LOCKED.

As for depth. I am pretty sure the width of the projector is going to determine your mounting depth. At least with my gen5.5 they are locked in as deep as possible and I have no problem with beam width.
