Does he just use the stock nut that comes on the back of the projector or is there more substantial bracing?

You can see the MH1's here if you'd like :: http://blackflamecustoms.com/product...rojectors-p-85 (pics and videos)

They genuinely do have a good amount of width, depth and intensity in regards to light output

Yes, I used the D2S projectors on my retrofit and had to cut much more material than I expected to have to. Still not 100% happy with the results even a year latter, need to take mine apart and redo some stuff.

What I would like to see - is an upgrade of the Gen 1 original Xenon lights (pre refresh) to bi xenon projectors...

Hmm those wouldn't be for a set with flat black housings and hyper blue shrouds would they?

Don't worry, I'll make sure there are plenty of pics.

Very happy to see more MINI people jumping aboard on BFC. JB is a great guy- all together we've had about ~80 emails back and forth, and he answers within 5 minutes most times- really some of the best customer service I've ever received. Reasonable price when you compare it to what Xenons are from the factory (plus the cost of painting, bi-xenon conversion, etc, they are very reasonable).
I should be getting my lights in mid-next week. I will post pictures of cutoff, head on, and some various pictures of it. Can't wait can't wait can't wait.
