The drivers side dust cover pretty much comes in contact with the battery (at least on mine)

The Trimmed Muranos fit in there no problem. I'd say they're barely bigger than an FX-R, except with a 3" lens. they easily fit in the reflector bowl, both depth and height. It's the E-55 that might need an inch or 2 extension which judging by the looks of it seems to be plausible on both sides.

As for time wise. this will take a long time. like a month or 2. but i have a set of lights as replacements.

right now i have 5 headlights. 1 set of OEM Koup, 1 set of Aftermarket clear reflector SEDAN, and 1 oem koup headlight. I'm test fitting everything on the "1 koup light" i have before moving up to the other set. Now the question becomes. Retrofit the Koup or the sedan lights? keep in mind that judging by the looks of it the only parts of the headlights that are gonna be used are the Lens, the shell, and the turn signal reflector. the low and high will be discarded, and the "lip/swoop" will be discarded.
