No need to remove the lens!

I had this on one of the headlights I bought.

Follow that guide to remove the projector Carefully from the back of the headlight and then with clean hands (I wore latex gloves) reach in and snap the chrome ring back on!

Good luck  :happy2:

No probs

Most likely was just a sharp jolt or something, it clips in quite 'weakly' tbh so be careful not to break anything! And don't get any fingerprints on the inside of the lens...it's a bitch to get off...lol
