He means that it is much more difficult to retrofit the coupe headlights. The sedan and coupes have different headlights.

Simplified version:
It's more work for Ken to butcher up the coupe's halogen projector bracket and mount a HID projector to said mounting bracket than it is to fit a HID projector into the sedan's reflector.

Without that bracket from the coupe's headlight, it'll make mounting a bit more of a nightmare, along with adjustments.

I can vouch for Ken's(thisaznboi88) work. I havent thanked him yet but man, the projectors he made for my 09 sedan are simply amazing. Made my car look hella alot more sleek and aggressive, the look I was going for. I even recommended my buddy to him. Good stuff man.

thisaznboi88 does them himself. Send him a pm and he will get you the info you are looking for.

Just so you know I live in KY. You dont have to be close for him to work on your car.

I put a protective film over the headlights. Do if your planing to do your own. Do the same. You wouldn't want to get butyl glue on your sexy light people.

No problem. Also here are the new high beam splitters that I am talking about. They save your factory wires since you don't need to splice them anymore. Especially useful for people who still have factory warranty.
