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.
