Here are mine from over the summer:



Gotta say, one of the best mods for the money. Also fun to do, cause your car ends up looking like this:





The headlights now look soo much more agressive, and better. Changes the front end completely!

I ordered a set from my freind today!

One question, does my stock harness plug into that H4 Low beam harness? Or do I have to cut my old harness off of the old headlight and rewire it?

Thanks

so was it hard to get the headlight cover off? Did you have to put the headlight in the oven to heat it up?

thanks,
Jesse

It's not that bad, you just have to locate the plastic clip thingys and one you get them off, then you can remove the four bolts that hold the bumper supports to the frame of the car and that's it. Cryogen has a how to on his site for this, it's alot easier than it sounds. Following the directions on his site, I got my bumper off, installed the passenger side headlight and corner light assy and reinstalled my bumper in about an hour and a half:thumbup:

Take out bumper lights. You will see 2 bolts behind each light. 12mm, will need a socket wrench extension to twist them out. 2 screws in fenderwells. 10 mins.
