just scrape your hands it'll make you more a man,

on the Left side (facing the car) you can remove the little intake tube more a bit more room, on the other side your on your own

Not impossible, just REALLY REALLY HARD. You have to bend one of the mounts, but it can be done. Removing the bumper is much easier (it isn't that hard).

There is a metal piece that holds the bumper to the front core support. Has I think it is 6 Nickel size bolts that you have to have a Phillips head screwdriver to get off. Then all you have to do is take the metal piece off in front of the headlights. Has 2 10mm bolts on each piece of metal. There is one directly in front of each one of the headlights. All you have to do then is just take the bolts that hold the headlights on OFF. Thats it. Took me about 5 minutes.

Sorry guys, should've said bulbs

Ended up getting them changed, the driver side was a bitch because of the pipeing right there.

BTW sylvania cool blues kick ***, I can see more then 10 feet infront of me now. Atleast better then the ones that where in there when I bought the car

I dunno, not sure what the person before me had in there, so I can't compare

I just bought them because my old bulbs where yellow looking and wheren't bright at all.

Kinda had the dead battery in a flash light look.
