Can't wait to see how yours turns out! I'll definitely need some hand holding to get started myself, but I like the idea of making a drilling jig. I'm still kinda old school & make jigs for all my projects... still can't get around to building my own cnc  
Not sure if abs pipe or pvc pipe would be able to adhere to the plastic of the housings, but it might be something to investigate. I think i have an old headlight from an explorer that i might do some testing on just to see what i can materials will stick to it lol. might have to order up some plastic weld epoxy or something to play with.
I'm with ya note Jig, not sure how mine will work out, got the Headlight Pieces yesterday, the Projectors, (smaller than expected, good...), Harnessing, Halos, Toroids, and little things.   I need to locate a pipe with a 3.5" ID, may have to either sand the hell out of the ID of a larger piece of pipe or have some machined, need to check out standard pipe ID but want a thick wall.  Not sure what a 4" PVC Pipe has for an ID but since I plan a Plate on the back to mount the Projector to I guess the ID need just enough room for the Projector to slip in.

Also, thinking about the eBay Jig,

making a new center pin/standard Drilling Bushing, that would at least center things up.
Still thinking on a complete rear mounting system but as you said I am not sure about the PVC/ABS Plastic adhering to the housing... hoping for JB Weld to do the bonding.

No pictures of the packaging because the package was picked up on an out bound trip with the Wife driving and I had to look but the packaging was a cardboard box with some, and I do mean some packaging peanuts, that was all.   The individual component boxes were the main protection during shipping.

All of the parts look ok; more measuring will take place tomorrow after the Brush Hog is attached to the tractor and the lower 10 (LoL) are cleaned up of Brush.
