yeah...if you are creative enough you can get just about anything except the monster projectors to fit. Most of the time they directly mount them to the reflector bowl so you can still adjust them. THe biggest problem is length, so they may extend out past the back (custom end cap needed) and there is clearance issues with the battery (will squeeze right against it)
